| To listen to music, you must be connected to the Internet. | You can listen to downloaded tracks without an Internet connection. |
| The network will not support streaming. | Streaming is a key feature of the service. Most of Napster's music will be stored on a server at Vanderbilt to facilitate streaming. |
| A dial-up connection is too slow to use Napster. | The service performs well with a dial-up connection, although faster connections are recommended. If you have a dial-up connection, make sure your settings reflect that. Furthermore, the Napster service offers free downloads, so instead of constantly streaming a song, download it! |
| Songs cannot be burned onto CD. | Tracks can be burned onto CD for as low as 99 cents a track, or purchase entire albums. |
