Download any tune, lets you listen to it 5 times before you have to delete it for free :)

and its totally legal ..

there website is moving slowly because of the ammount of people on there, might be worth trying when its calmed down a bit.

The good: Napster now offers a browser-based service and free accounts that let users stream almost any track in the Napster catalog, and these free accounts work on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers. The downloadable version includes personalized recommendations with the nifty Playlist of the Day feature and offers a streamlined community-friendly interface. Napster provides à la carte music purchases, as well as tethered and to-go music subscriptions, and the downloads are encoded as high-quality 192Kbps WMAs.

The bad: Songs streamed with Naspter's free account can be played only five times and are encoded at 32Kbps. Plus, free streaming doesn't work on Apple's Safari browser or Internet Explorer for Mac, and it has glitches with Firefox on a Mac. Virgin Digital and Yahoo Music Unlimited both offer cheaper subscription plans, and Napster's library doesn't monitor music folders for files created in other programs.

Its Pure Music (no picture downloads or software) (only Mp3's) with - kazza users can plant what files you can download (make fake ones infected, into fooling you to downloading it)..

The good news with Napster is that they host the music, its a great new tool and 100% legal and safe, Napster was down for a few hrs because they were unable to cope with demand so thats the only current downside to it at the moment.
