Beginning tonight, the long running online music service Napster will drop the price of their cheapest monthly subscription from $13 USD to $5 USD, allowing users to stream unlimited amounts of music while receiving five DRM-free MP3 tracks every month.
The new price cut is only available to U.S. users however, so international users are out of luck for the time being.
Premium subscription plans will still cost $15 USD a month giving users the same access but with the ability to take content to all portable devices with the notable exception of iPods.
The plan is very similar to that of the Microsoft Zune Pass, which offers unlimited streaming and 10 DRM-free tracks for $15 USD.
