AT&T To Offer Napster Music Downloads

AT&T Inc. is making Napster Inc.'s entire music catalog of more than 5 million songs available for wireless download starting early next month.

According to AP report, the service will expand the company's over-the-air download offerings beyond the independent music it offered through eMusic.com and allow it to compete with offerings from rivals Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp.


At $1.99 a song, or $7.49 for five songs, it's comparable to Verizon's pricing, but far off-kilter from Sprint's .99 a track. Issues with the price point are only compounded by computer based digital music stores like iTunes and Amazon distributing DRM-free tracks at .99. There is a little more work involved with those solutions since they don't provide the convenience of over-the-air downloads (yet), but in terms of price and selection they may prove to be strong contenders.

With this announcement, AT&T is reinforcing the company's commitment to delivering anytime, anywhere access to content. In addition, AT&T will be the only national provider to enable customers to purchase full-track songs over the air from both Napster and eMusic, the world's largest retailer of independent music.
