Napster and Dell are teaming up to give College students a legal way to get their music.

Dell will bundle their PowerEdge 1855 servers with Napster’s digital music service to allow Colleges to implement the hardware and allow students to listen and purchase music from their local campuses. This means extremely fast downloads and easy access to hundreds of thousands of songs.

So far the two companies have signed on the University of Washington, who will debut the service during the upcoming school year. Napster already provides a similar service to thirteen other universities.

Pricing for students will be discounted and sold through Dell, bundled alongside Dell’s DJ MP3 player.

Late last month, a court rules in favour of the record labels, saying that peer to peer services such as Grokster can be held responsible for the trading of illegal music.
