Napster vs. iTunes

Okay, I admit it.  I was one of "those guys" when Napster first came out over a decade ago, I had an account and over 20,000 songs in my library.  It took me months to build that library.  Then at the peak, Napster got into some serious hot water with copyrights, stolen merchandise, etc. and my account became locked.

Fast forward a decade, I am now an iTune junkie.  I have somewhere close to 60,000 songs, TV shows, movies, etc. in my iPod because of my iTune account.  Except for the periods of my deployments (iTunes doesn't work in Iraq or Afghanistan because of piracy issues) I have lovely built my portfolio.

Today with Napster you pay a monthly fee but the variety is very limited.  Many artists refuse to allow their works to be available on Napster even after they started making you pay.  iTunes is limitless.  You can find just about everything.  Download a whole album or just your favorite song and better yet throw it on your iCloud and it will go everywhere with you.  

I guess you could say that I am a convert.  My iPod goes everywhere.  It is the soundtrack of my life.  I vote for Team iTunes!
