Vanderbilt is offering Napster as a legal download option to students (and faculty and staff) for a rate of $2/month during the academic year for at least a year.
Vanderbilt Register reports that the university is starting to offer FreshTracksMusic as a new legal download option. The difference of FreshTracksMusic from Napster is that, FreshTracksMusic features independent and usigned artists. Moreoever, unlike Vanderbilt’s Napster offering, subscribers will be able listen to the tracks/albums they have purchased either on their PCs or portable music players, and burn them to a CD without any limitations. This sounds very much like the business of eMusic. The low subscription fee will be $3/month for this unlimited service.
Vanderbilt will be the first customer of FreshTracksMusic whose cofounders are Vanderbilt alumnus. The service now seems to be added to Vanderbilt’s VUMix website. FreshTracksMusic’s Vanderbilt page can be reached here.
