I just got an email from someone at Penn State, I guess starting in 2004 i get the service for free because i am a Penn State student. So if your goin to school see if you get the same deal. ---

So who gets it and when? Because this is a pilot program that requires different sign up technology for both Napster and Penn State, the service will be phased in during 2004. In Phase I, students living in the residence halls at all campuses will have the service available starting Spring Semester. In the second phase, beginning in Fall Semester 2004, all Penn State students will be eligible for the service regardless of where they live. Penn State students will be able to play songs directly from the network, download songs onto their hard drives, and transfer songs to other computers–all for no additional cost to students. Students can listen to and download to their hard drives an unlimited number of songs for as long as they are enrolled. Students will also have the opportunity to purchase tracks that they can burn onto a CD for 99 cents per track or an entire album for only $9.95. ---
