SAN ANTONIO, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Strike up the band.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Napster (Nasdaq: NAPS) today announced a new offer
that gives customers free unlimited access for one year to more than 3
million song tracks through Napster To Go(R) -- a $180 value -- allowing
consumers to customize playlists on their PC and seamlessly transfer
favorite tunes to compatible wireless phones and music devices. This move
further blurs the line between communications and entertainment as well as
wireless and wireline services.

wireless footprint with qualifying plans -- as well as across the company's
entire 22-state traditional service footprint with qualifying wireless,
home phone and broadband triple-pack bundles -- the offer enables consumers
to conveniently access their favorite songs across multiple screens,
including the PC, the wireless screen and other compatible music devices.
The offer builds on the company's effort to deliver anytime, anywhere
access to enhanced content.
"By tying Napster To Go to AT&T's robust communications network, we're
turning up the volume nationwide on both consumer value and added
convenience," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer of AT&T Consumer.
"Merging communications with entertainment -- in this case, linking Napster
To Go's rich library of music to our wireless and broadband services --
again shows that we are committed to delivering enhanced content across key
screens both at home and on the go."
"This exciting promotion will introduce Napster To Go to an audience
that is eager to enhance their AT&T devices and services with a robust and
exciting music experience," said Chris Gorog, chairman and CEO for Napster.
"We are pleased to be working with AT&T and to have the opportunity to
present Napster across AT&T's lineup of communications services throughout
the nation."
AT&T will support the promotional offers with an extensive, integrated
marketing campaign that will include broadcast, print and online
advertising, and in-store merchandising at all AT&T wireless retail
locations.

customers outside of the AT&T local service territory who agree to the

Samsung, exclusively available through AT&T wireless, or the BlackJack
