...subscription required, Napster's pricing follows the iTunes model. Also Apple-like is Napster's integration with a portable audio player, Samsung's YP-910, a $399 jukebox that shares iPod's simplicity of use. This player is slightly larger, though unlike iPod it has a built-in MP3 recording function and an FM transmitter for wireless connection to radios...
