| To listen to music, you must be connected to the Internet | You can listen to downloaded tracks without being connected to the Internet. |
| The network will not support streaming | Streaming is a key feature of the service. Napster and WSU have installed a local streaming server at WSU to facilitate streaming. Although there might be some initial delays as the system is fine-tuned, there should be excellent service to all on-campus users as the system is implemented. |
| Songs cannot be burned onto CD | Tracks that have been purchased ($0.99 each, or $9.95 for an album) can be burned onto CD. |
| Residence hall bandwidth limits will be greatly affected by this service | A special Napster server will run on the local network. This server will contain 90% of the tracks requested by Napster users. As a result, most tracks will be available from within the Wright State network, and therefore, will not affect residence hall bandwidth limits. |
| Already downloaded tracks won't work in Napster | They will work and are simple to load. |
| Faculty and staff can't get Napster | Napster is launching a discount program for WSU faculty and staff starting September 1st. Now everyone at Wright State can enjoy Napster at significant savings! |
