Is the new napster going to fly?

I was reading about the new napster program on their site, and am wondering if anyone here thinks it's a good idea or if it will catch on.

The problems with it are (1) it costs money. $5-10 is what they say, (2) not all of the files will be in mp3 format. Instead they will be in NAP format which has a digital signature to protect the copyright, which unfortunately prevents it from being played on portable mp3 players etc.

Advantages: (1) it is legit. (2) supposedly large library and high quality downloads.

My thoughts: Maybe a small market share from P2P services like Morpheus et al. Limited to people who will pay for honesty, quality, diversity. HAH less than you would think.
 
Sure, people will get it.. but I won't be one of them... along with a lot others. I'd say that most people will just move to a free software, which is Morpheus at the moment.. but if something happens to that, then you know something else will eventually come out.
