Napster and AT&T announced Thursday that Napster Mobile is now available to more than 13 million AT&T customers.

As part of AT&T Mobile Music, Napster Mobile is now available on more than 25 AT&T phones, including the new BlackBerry Bold, the Pantech Matrix, and the Samsung Propel.

According to Napster, the expansion was possible thanks to less restrictive DRM. If your phone is compatible, you can purchase and download songs over the air from Napster Mobile for $1.99 each, which also includes a PC copy. If you choose, you can also get Napster Mobile for a $7.49 monthly subscription, which allows you to download five songs per month.

Since I read about the Slacker application coming soon on Blackberry phones I can't imagine why anybody would pay for a monthly service to download 5 songs. I'll take unlimited free music any day.
