Napster Returns With 99-Cent Downloads
Posted on October 25, 2003
Napster, a division of Roxio, announced that Napster 2.0 has begun beta testing and will be available on October 29th. The new service will offer 99-cent downloads from a digital music library with over 500,000 songs. Napster 2.0 will also feature a series of partnerships that help consumers move music from the PC to digital audio devices, into the living room and their cars. The original Napster shut down because of lawsuits over copyright violations.
The new Napster website is located at Napster.com like the original site.
Update: Napster is now being acquired by Rhapsody, an on-demand music service. Rhapsody costs $10 a month. CNN quotes Rhapsody president Jon Irwin as saying, "This is a 'go big or go home' business, so our focus is on sustainably growing the company."
