Sherlock Holmes Blakes 7 The Avengers Frankenstein Pathfinders Judge Dredd Phantom Of The Opera
That I could find, Napster is primarily aimed at music, finding audiobooks in their catalouge is incredibly difficult, since searching for the obvious things like "Big Finish" and "Blake 7" give you lots of music, but not what your looking for.
So I can't say how many of each of these is available, just that I found at least one of each.

I had no clue Napster still existed. I had thought they'd shut down due to legal action over illegal downloads. Is it a pay service now?

Aren't these technically illegal torrents?

I think Napster is a legal company now from what I understand but it does seem strange Big Finish would allow this.
I just asked them for clarification. If it is I can recommend Dorian to people who can't afford it (they don't have the whole range only up to Series 3).

Napster has been a legal music streaming service for many years now, way beyond the amount of time they were involved in illegal activity.
But yes, as I said in another thread, seems like an incredibly stupid move to me by BF, I pay Napster something like £20 a year to access their library, I pay BF many hundreds if not thousands per year to buy individual releases. But if I can stream stuff from Napster there is no reason to hand money over to BF at all, to replace my custom alone, and assuming BF receive say £0.03 per story streamed, they'd need to attract around 60,000 new listeners to stream just to replace the lost income from me personally. If they were to loose 100 customers who spend 1/3rd what I spend, the numbers get silly, with BF needing to attract nearly 1.9m new streaming listeners just to break even.
Insanity.
EDIT: Have checked, I pay Napster £50 a year, but it really doesn't impact the maths.
