A few websites approximate what Napster does best: they help you find a particular song to download and keep. But while Napster searches for these songs on other users' hard drives (and only in the MP3 format), these music search engines scour the Web and look for files in many different formats. Also unlike Napster, not all the music is free; prices can range from 99 to $2 or more for one song.
Where To Find Legal Music Online
Think of Napster as the Elvis Presley of the digital
music world revolutionary, dangerous and wildly
popular. But for every Elvis, there's a Frankie Valli
not far behind, almost as popular but less
controversial. So if you want to taste some of
Napster's forbidden fruit without getting anyone all
shook up, here's where to find legal downloads of
digital music on the Web.
