Just wondering, do you folks know of any programs similar to Napster that are compatible with Windows 98? Basically, I just want a program that will allow me to download and listen to as much music as I want, that's why I liked Napster's $9.99 plan. I am a Napster customer, but I am the only one in the household who has a computer running Windows XP. It seems as if iTunes, MSN Music, and RealRhapsody can be counted out. Thanks alot for any help, my family needs to upgrade their computers.

Are you sure MSN Music Store is not available for Windows 98?
http://music.msn.com/help/requirements QUOTE System Requirements These are the minimum requirements to play radio or purchase music from MSN. Hardware and Software Requirements Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Internet Explorer 5.01 (or later), which supports 128-bit encryption Windows Media Player 7.1 (or later), we recommend the latest version A 233 megahertz (MHz) processor (such as an Intel Pentium II or Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) processor) or faster 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM or more Speakers and sound capability Payment with a valid credit card with a U.S. billing address To enjoy high-quality audio as a Radio Plus subscriber, you will need Windows Media Player 9 Series (or later) I also believe Sony Connect Music Store is compatible with Windows 98 http://musicstore.connect.com/index.html |

Thanks alot for the reply, I guess I counted MSN Music out because you have to buy tracks to listen to them. Basically, I just want to pay one monthly fee and be able to download as many tracks as I want, I don't care about burning them or transferring to a device. Also, Sony Connect says that it is compatible with Windows 98 SE, will it work with the regular Windows 98?

MSN Music Store iTunes Music Store Music Match Napster Sony Connect Real Rhapsody And none of them support Windows98.... your family should have at least Windows98SE. You should probably look for less famous music stores, which probably doesn't offer a lot of choices.. |

MusicNet will work, only if we install AOL.
