Napster cuts prices in U.K.

Napster has cut the prices of its songs in the United Kingdom by 20 pence (38 cents) to bring them into line with Apple Computer's iTunes. The former bad boy of digital music will now match Apple's 79 pence ($1.49) for a single track.

Napster also has cut the cost of its albums, from 9.99 pounds ($18.80) to 7.95 pounds ($14.97)--also in line with iTunes pricing. In addition, fees for buying songs in bulk through Napster's Track Packs have been trimmed.

Huh, Why not in America?

Why have the American price for MP3's have never been cut? I think 99¢ is to high, so I still use P2P...

Do the Math

You think $0.99 is too mmuch - even at £0.79 in the UK that works out to $1.48 (todays prices) - so I don't think you should be trying to cry poverty and over-pricing JUST yet!

And if you only use P2P then what are you complaining about, you aern't paying for it anyway - apart from that knock on the door from the RIAA........
