On Tuesday, Napster announces world’s largest MP3 download store. The napster, compatible mp3 players claims that over 6 million songs are now available for download, 50% more than any other service. And if that’s not enough, all US downloads are now completely free of digital rights management (DRM) protection, meaning that songs you buy from Napster can be played on any device, including iPods, Zunes, Zens, Sansas, your phone, your computer, you name it. In keeping with norms, songs are 99 cents each, and most albums are $9.95. Songs come down to you at a respectable 256Kbps. From what I can see, there still aren’t any options for lossless audio, but hey, take what you can get.

What’s your take on this? Will this help to convince any iPod users out there to make the jump from iTunes to Napster?
