Napster Playlist Challenge Frequently Asked Questions
Well twinkletoes, apparently you didn't look at the winning playlist because 14 of the 16 songs did have the word "summer' in it. The point is that the winning playlist didn't have anything to do with what they asked for in the challenge.

DashboardDJ856, get over it! you didn't win because those songs are lame. Whatever the contest is called a good play list is one that really sets a mood or feeling. It is something you would listen to to make a particular situation [in this case summer] better. Making a playlist is NOT a scavenger hunt. just because a song has the word summer in it doesn't make it the best choice.
"As far as I am concerned no explanation from you is a sign of guilt & deception." your posts are still there they could have deleted it, but they [Napster] probably think you just come off sounding stupid.

Again I ask, when did the summer challenge, change the theme. From last month's challenge quotes, "To take part in the Napster Playlist Challenge, simply send us your best playlist based on the current theme, which for this month is Summer Vacation. Summer's almost here, so we're looking for summertime mixes. Send us a playlist with fun in the sun in mind."
The playlist that was picked is now called Ultimate Summer. A chill set of R&B and hip hop classics. I don't see any connection with vacation or fun in the sun.
Also I quote from the challenge, "The chosen playlist will be featured from June 23 to June 29, 2009". Well, the featured playlist on Napster's Homepage for this week is Country on the Road, Summer 2009.
What is the point of setting up a challenge, and then napster doesn't even follow it's own rules. Why should we even bother to enter?
As far as I am concerned no explanation from you is a sign of guilt & deception.

I have a big problem with the June 23 Summer playlist vacation winner. If you read the theme of the challenge, it is called Summer Vacation, yet now your calling it Ultimate Summertime. I don't see anything vaguely close to any vacation themes there. So when did you change the theme. So what criteria was used?
I would think songs like Surfin USA by The Beach Boys, Vacation by the Go-Go's, California Girls by David Lee Roth, Under The Boardwalk by The Drifters, at least they have Summer Vacation themes & places running thru them. The playlist that was picked has no vacation themes anywhere?
Any comments?
