Napster To Go is compatible with a range of MP3 players and music playing devices. It generally works wherever Windows DRM is present on such devices as Sony, Creative, Samsung and mobile phones. With Napster To Go you can fill and refill these players without paying 79p a track but by paying a monthly subscription to Napster.

I purchase the creative zen x fi 2 and it is not compatible with Napster from what I have been told. Can anyone tell me if it is or suggest one that is is? Napster has been no help and is hard to get a hold of.
Thanks
The Zen X-Fi 2 is not Napster to go compatible. It does not use the DRM Digital Rights Management that Napster requires for their service.
Hello Michael and Donna, thanks for your comments.
I’ve checked into the Zen X-Fi 2 in more detail and it looks as though the Zen X-Fi 2 can play music files with WMA files with DRM 9. However, I believe that Napster To Go requires DRM 10 in order for it to work with the service.
Information is hard to come by and so we will update the blog post to show that the Creative Zen X-Fi 2 is not compatible.
Thanks again for pointing this out.
Regards,
Tom
