I, for one, have never bought music off of Napster (and, for that matter, only 3 songs off of iTunes). 99% of the music on my MP3 player comes from my already-owned collection of CDs and ALBUMS, which are already filled with my favorite music, jazz. There's plenty of old music that hasn't been put on CD yet, including a lot of classic jazz. An MP3 player allows me to bring it with me on my motorcycle, walking to work, or exercizing.
Napster never had much of a draw for people who didn't listen to rock. But the rest of us could still appreciate MP3 technology, and take advantage of it. (and, for that matter, only 3 songs off of iTunes)
