Beta 8 FAQ
Q: Is Beta 8 still free?

A: YES!

Q: Why can't I see the shared files of users in my Hot List?

A: You can. To browse the shared files of a user in your Hot List, highlight the user name, click on the name with your right mouse button, and select "Browse Files." You can also initiate the browse function from the right-click menus available in the Search area, the Transfer area, and the Chat user list.

Q: Why have some of the terms changed in Beta 8?

A: With Beta 8, we've updated some of the terms we use in the Napster application. We've tried to give the Napster functions and areas names that more clearly explain how they work. If you're confused by anything you find, try checking out the appropriate section in the online manual for a detailed explanation.

Q: Anything new and cool in Beta 8 I should know about?

A: Yes. We've added an Exclude Option to Napster Search. Just use a minus sign (-) before any terms you would like to leave out of your search results. If you want to exclude more than one term, make sure to use the minus sign (-) before each of those terms.

We've also added a Rename function in the My Files area so you can change the names of your MP3 and WMA files from within Napster. Just right-click on a file name within the My Files area, select "Rename File," and then type in the new file name. (Notice that you do not need to retype the .MP3 or .WMA extension after the file name. The extension will be added automatically.)

When are they going to implement the monthly charge?

 

[sweetrobin]

kewlies .. will have to check that out ...

 

[stonythug]

anyone know when freenet is supposed to be done(if ever). Hopefully it will be at about the same time as when Napster starts charging. Did you hear scour's coming back too except it's going to cost you.

I just turned in a paper about napster and p2p in general monday and part of it was the monthly fee. there's no date set down yet. bertelsmann and napster are trying to work a business model that riaa will find (more or less) acceptable and thus alleviate their litigation. there's no date, but i would guess around summer. i imagine they'd like to have the threat of doom (read as turning into scour ex) lifted from their shoulders.

Did you hear scour's coming back too except it's going to cost you.

Where did you hear that?

Wow, the lettering on the MP3 player is more legible now!

The exclude is going to make getting covers sooooo much easier.
