Beginning in mid-November, the Napster Mobile service will enable AT&T wireless customers to easily search a music catalog with more than 5 million songs, preview samples of each song and conveniently purchase and download their favorite music from their wireless handsets in less than a minute. Customers will have the ability to download five tracks a month with the Napster Mobile Five-Track Pack option for a discounted price of $7.49 or purchase songs a la carte for just $1.99.

Ideal for on-the-go music enthusiasts, Napster Mobile will also feature joint delivery, sending a track to the user’s wireless handset while making a duplicate copy available for download to the user’s PC at no additional charge. An e-mail notice will be sent to the user’s PC and will provide a link to download the new song.

“AT&T is the nationwide leader in mobile music and offers the largest catalog of songs, the most digital music choices and the best user experience in the industry,” said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T’s wireless unit. “We are pleased to expand our relationship with Napster, an innovator in the digital music revolution, to connect our customers to more of the music they want in the moment that they want it.
