ÒNapster is betterÓ

Chris Gorog, CEO of Napster, believes that NapsterÕs subscription based model for digital music is better then iTunes pay-as-you-go method for a couple reasons.

First Gorog said was, ÒFilling a top-of-the-line iPod with 10,000 songs would cost $10,000 if you bought the songs from Apple.Ó He wanted to compare that against the idea that a Napster customer could get 10,000 songs for $180 per year and that Gorog believes is an awesome value.

The second thing that supports a subscription based model for digital music would that selling 99 cent songs makes very minimal money for the company where a subscription based business model is much more profitable.

Gorog predicts that there will be a migration of digital music users to Napster from iTunes because of those two reasons.
