Napsterfor Windows

A pioneer in the world of music streaming, Napster allows you to listen to unlimited music from a never-ending catalog of 15 million tracks, as well as sync it to enjoy when you’re offline.

How it works

Although its past may be dubious, today, Napster is a completely legal app that provides endless music lists for an affordable price.

Napster is an application stemming from Rhapsody - a pioneer in the world of music streaming. 

The interface is what you would expect from such a piece of software. You can search for tracks, create radio stations using an algorithm, or sync it to listen offline. You may music in the background while you use other apps, and adjust a WiFi and data limit. The mobile app is neatly developed, especially for Apple devices, and desktop use is another option to consider.

Napster will personalize your playlists using data acquired from usage, and it offers an option to continue playing similar music once your playlist is over. It also comes with a handy EarPrint function which allows you to optimize the sound played according to your headphones.

Napster also comes with social integration function, which syncs your Facebook friends who are also a part of this app. Another way to connect to users is by liking playlists and communicating with their creators.

Where can you run this program?

Napster runs on the desktop web, as well as Android and Apple mobile devices.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes, there are many similar apps nowadays. Napster covers a bit more music tracks than some of them, but Spotify and iTunes are solid alternatives.

Our take

As an app, Napster offers as much as many others. While the most significant distinction is in the name, anyone who decides to download it will enjoy the advantages it brings.

Should you download it?

Yes, if you’re looking for an app of reasonable quality that comes at a similarly reasonable price.
