So pay Napster money in June and you won't have to worry about
having to be a creative speller. You can critique all you want,
but when a company makes shareware/freeware versions of their
software, the shareware version will always be a step up for
most of its users. Then you're stuck comparing the freeware
version versus other freewawre versions.
Much like the free version or "lite" versions of most of the
sound editing software I use is less than adequate for what I
wish to do with them. For your average user, I guess it will be
a relief to not have to type "MetallYca" when searching for their
favorite band, provided you paid them money.
Though I must say I don't plan on paying for Napster's services
if it comes down to that...I just never felt the urge to complain,
given the fact that I was getting it for free. However, I don't
think the fact I got it for free waives me the right to complain,
I just elect not to complain since I'm getting my money's worth.
That's just MY idiotic opinion.
