Our first impression of the interface is positive. Napster is easy to download and install. (It automatically detected and uninstalled a previous version of pressplay on our system.) We easily navigated through the first few clicks on a familiar yet reworked interface. Smooth buttons and aesthetically pleasing artist photos, album art, and of course the smirking Napster icon adorn the uncluttered site.

The new Napster interface features three primary buttons.

• Home
  Similar to iTunes Music Store, the top page includes a rotating featured-artists section with new album releases and a "Just Added to Napster" area. You can access genre pages such as alternative, classical, country, and dance. The homepage also features radio, magazine, and message board tabs.
  
  
• Browse
  There's plenty of information in this section, including tabs for artists/albums, Just Added, Now Streaming, Charts, and Members' Collections. Napster gets points for conveniences such as artist bio info, members' favorites, and of course the option to buy a track at any time using a single click. Bonus points go to the Browse Members' Collections section, which was a key element of the original Napster. Here you can even browse and download others' playlists (premium service only).
  
  
• Library
  A simple Explorer-style interface includes your own imported MP3 collection and your WMA downloads. A fire icon indicates that you've purchased the track (so it's burnable). A download icon indicates the file has restrictions (this applies only to the premium service).

The blending of the new (iTunes-style), old (pressplay), and older (original Napster) is clearly evident. The interface has a universal search box (search by album, artist, track, or member). A Now Playing column graces the right side, which includes the software player, album art, and the playlist area.
