"Napster today announced that Napster To Go, the world's first portable music subscription service, is available for users of the new AT&T Wireless- based Audiovox SMT5600 Smartphone. The Napster To Go / Audiovox SMT5600 compatibility enables the only mobile phone in the U.S. market to allow music fans to seamlessly transfer and play an unlimited number of full-length songs on the go for one low monthly price of $14.95. The Smartphone also supports individual tracks purchased by Napster subscribers or downloaded a la carte from the Napster Light store."

I can see sales of larger capacity miniSD cards increasing already. With services like this, it won't be long before we have 1GB miniSD cards.

There's been some talk of this service at various forums for some time. As everybody else, I think its wishful thinking on the part of Napster that people will agree to pay $15 vs $10 just for the ability to travel with their music and that too on only a few supported devices.

That said, I'll give it a spin and my decision will be based on their music collection. 700,000 tracks don't sound a lot to me...

Is this available today? Or has it merely been announced? I'm interested in trying it with my SMT5600, but I see nothing but the regular Napster client available for download.

I download the Napster plugin for WMP 10. I think thats the only way you can get Napster to go for now. I even installed it but haven't registered yet. It crashed my WMP while trying to register.

I checked out some reviews of the service and am less than impressed. One thing I want to make sure before I sign on for the trial.
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DISCONTINUE THE SUBSCRIPTION!!! :twisted:

It better be a simple affair cause I don't want to be caught in a whole year of subscription. I'd sooner cancel my credit card...
