Napster MP3 Store allows you to listen to 30-second samples of the Napster catalogue and purchase individual tracks and albums in MP3 format that can be burned onto CD or transferred to any MP3 player. You don’t pay a membership fee, just for every individual title you buy.

Most other music services will charge you for every track and album you download. Of course you can get this at the Napster MP3 Store. But Napster Unlimited offers you the best value service out there – you can play all the music you want from our vast catalogue ad-free and get MP3s to keep on top. You also get full access to our amazing features – all for a simple low monthly payment from just £5 per month. There are other music services that claim to offer unlimited access to music but none of them come close to Napster in size of catalogue, range of features, recommendation tools and of course MP3s to keep. We could go on…
