Napster will begin offering a free (free as in cost and free as in no DRM) download each day as part of a sponsored promotional campaign in conjunction with Intel. The first track, Iron Maiden's seven and a half minute metal ballad "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" is available now.Napster's VP of Music Services says of the new offering, "Napster's Free Download of the Day will feature the best up-and-coming bands and a few surprises from some big stars. We believe a new, free MP3 each day will be exciting for music fans and will prove to be a great way to create awareness for artists and value for marketers, who can work with Napster to associate their brands with this great music."

It would appear to only work in the States.
Here is the message I got in Australia.
"We're sorry but you cannot purchase tracks from outside the United States"
Just thought you might like to know.
