Napster

by chit_n_chat Dec 12, 2005 1:27AM PST

I'm tempted to get the napster subscription service but i've got 2 questions

1) Is it compatible with the Archos XS202 (The Napster To Go)

2) What is the cheapest and easiest way to stream it to a Hi-Fi

Bear in mind for number 2, i've got an old PC that if I could get a smaller case, could work as a media server type thingy. If I did this though, what does a smaller case cost and where can you get them?

Napster streams

I love Napster. I did the trial and kept on plugging.

For the HiFi route, I got the RCA Lyra RD900W system. The booklet/web site say it works with Rhapsody and Musicmatch, but it really ends up being like a wireless USB speaker system. You plug the transmitter into your PC via USB and then it sets the soundcard to the USB device, and then you plus the reciever into your stereo, and it works like a charm. 10 minute set up - tops.

I have win 2000, and it claims to work with 98+

According to playsforsure.com, the Xs202 works with downloaded tunes, but not subscription. http://www.playsforsure.com/ItemDetail.aspx?id=86 is the link.
