More than half of Napster-using college students would be willing to pay $15 a month for the service, a survey conducted by Cambridge-based research firm WebNoize found. Napster's software allows users to search for and copy digital music files from other users. The study also found that digital music has become more popular among students, with 63 percent saying they are spending more time listening to downloaded music and 23 percent saying they spend less time listening to CDs. –- Margaret Kane, ZDNet News
