I am a big fan of iTunes, the Apple music-on-demand service that has made my iPod (one of the old white ones, not the new super cute tiny coloured ones) an indispensable accessory, especially since the introduction of audible books on demand.
I have spent a large amount of money through the service - much of it on content I already own, but is out in my garage on LPs - and have rediscovered many of my favourite tracks. But I miss Napster. What I miss most about it is serendipity: stumbling across one thing of interest when looking for another and therefore finding content I never knew existed, let alone whether I liked it or not. Here is an example to show you what I mean. I was in my study, tapping away on the computer, and suddenly decided to listen to Bad Boy Boogie, by AC/DC.

And I use iTunes although the downloading of mp3s doesn't work in Europe yet. And Napster is back...has been for a while only now you pay but it's not expensive really.
