Programs Similar To The New Napster

[IAIHMB]

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. :cry:

Are you sure MSN Music Store is not available for Windows 98?

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

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? :unsure:

1. He already mentioned RealRhapsody doesn't work with his computer.

2. MusicMatch only works with WindowsXP.

Here's the list of music stores I have checked.

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. :cry:

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. :angry:
