Best Buy Mobile Offers $15 in Napster Music Free with Mobile Phone Purchase
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Napster, the pioneer of digital music, today announced subscribers can now
access their account at m.napster.com from most web-enabled phones, regardless
of carrier. Subscribers can now browse, search, preview and use account credits
to download tracks "over the air" from Napster`s library of more than nine
million songs. 

Napster customers currently receive five MP3s and unlimited listening on the PC
for $5 per month. Beginning today, they can redeem credits and download tracks
"over the air," as well as receive a back-up MP3 copy for their PC - at no
additional cost. Consumers can also create a new account or add credits to an
existing account directly from their phone using a Napster prepaid card. 

"Napster subscribers can now discover and download music at anytime on more
phones from just about any carrier," said Brad Duea, Napster president. "This is
one of the strongest steps we`ve made to date toward our goal of making Napster
and music accessible anytime, anywhere." 

To promote the debut of m.napster.com, and celebrate September as "Music Month,"
Best Buy will offer $15 worth of Napster music (15 songs to keep and three
months of unlimited listening on the PC) at no charge with the purchase of any
contract mobile phone. 

"Mobile phones are becoming the focal point for how people connect with their
world, and music is a big piece of that," said Jude Buckley, chief marketing and
merchant officer for Best Buy Mobile. "Our customers want to be able to download
and listen to music no matter where they are, and now Napster makes it
accessible and simple to get music on any type of mobile phone." 

Today`s debut of m.napster.com is the first of many initiatives coming from
Napster in the near future that exemplify the company`s strategy of making music
instantly available from everywhere one might be.
