Napster 4.0 is finally out, and this version is a major overhaul that will remove the need for Windows while offering a degree of improvement to the actual service itself. Napster 4.0 will boast being one of the first services that offers an almost completely web-driven version of its library. Not only do you get to download Napster songs and playing them over Windows Media Player or a PlaysForSure-compatible device, it also enables subscribing users to play any song they desire from a web jukebox application. In addition, the browser version will also alter the playback format to the Flash audio format, making it all the more accessible to everyone. Mac and Linux users can now use a standard Flash plugin to listen to tracks from Napster’s store – something impossible in the past. Each song download still retains the recommended retail price of $0.99.
