\"\"<\/a>Are you an iPhone user who subscribes to a streaming music service and aren’t happy with your current provider? Then you might be in for some good news, with an old name — Kazaa has just released an app to the Apple App Store for the iPhone and iPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kazaa, we had such good times back in the day in the early 20oos, when you were KaZaA and I was a freewheeling kid with little regard for intellectual property rights! Originally, KaZaA was one of the first and most successful peer-to-peer downloading clients created in the wake of the Napster’s absence. These days, much like Napster<\/a>, Kazaa<\/a> has been purchased by new owners and has become a subscription-based music streaming site.<\/p>\n

The app allows users to stream music, download for offline use, sync with the Kazaa website, and listen to artist-based “radio stations.” Kazaa’s makes this sound like an exclusive feature, but I can’t think of a streaming service that doesn’t have one. The app comes with a seven day trial and for a $9.99 a month subscription, users can also listen to music in higher quality.<\/p>\n

Now, you have one more service to compete with Grooveshark<\/a>, Pandora<\/a>, Rdio<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, MOG<\/a>, Napster<\/a>, Rhapsody<\/a>, Zune Pass<\/a>, Slacker<\/a>, and any others I’ve missed\/forgotten (that you should add in the comments section), and that’s not counting ones that let you stream your own personal music collection.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, I have this urge to download Metallica bootlegs, just to piss off Lars for nostalgia’s sake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
