Merged threads always confuse the hell outta me!! Mimi is right - the new Napster will only have WMA files, as Mp3's don't have the digital rights management.

So for us 'podders we'll have to wait until iTunes Music Store launches in the UK - I think now Napster has there will be a big push fairly soon - although they have run into the arrogant Euro record labels that like to control the market by keeping release dates different in each market. As Apple runs iTunes on a low margin basis they would really need the whole of Europe as a suitable market to make it worth doing.
