Yes, once again, one of the most famous (or notorious) music download sites -- Napster -- is free.
However, things are a bit different now as Napster moves to an advertiser-supported model that allows users to listen to songs for free five times before paying for a song or monthly subscription. Walt Disney Co. and Guitar Center are among the site's new sponsors, and record labels will get a cut of the advertising revenue.

The free plays from napster sound really bad. Scratchy and watery. What kind of codec are they using!?
Too bad! Think they had better change whatever codec they are using ...
