(979) 69S-7744 Friday, October 10, 2003 AGGIELIFE THE BATTALION Pay version of Napster debut; By Alex Veiga THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Nearly a year after the Napster brand was rescued from the ashes of the ruined tile-swapping service, revamped online music store bearing the familiar name Thursday in limited release. A test version of Napster 2.0 launched with more than a lion songs from all the major music labels and with individual and album downloads as well as a subscription service. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Roxio Inc., which owns the Na name, shelved its former online music service, PresspIay, and: ing moving subscribers to Napster. Napster 2.0 users will see prices in line with what other services charge, which is about $ 1 per song and about $ 10 for full albumsor monthly subscription. The service allows users to copy, or “burn,” single songs CDs an unlimited number of times, but, like other services, users can’t burn more than five CDs with the same playlist. “Our company’s passion for what we’re doing will really by consumers and 1 think it’s also very consistent with the original vision for Napster,” said Chris Gorog, Roxio’s chairman and chief executive. The music industry has seen CD sales plummet over the last three years as illegal music file-sharing exploded, beginning with theorig inal Napster, which established a peer-to-peer network for users swap music without paying copyright holders. That service was forced to shut down in 2001 after a protracted legal battle with recording companies. Roxio is betting the Napster brand will help set its new service apart from a bevy of other digital music retailers that have launched since April, when Apple Computer Inc. introduced its iTunesMusic Store. File-sharing over the most popular peer-to-peer networks has declined in recent weeks, coinciding with a lawsuit campaign against downloaders by the recording industry. Traffic on Kazaa’s network, the most popular, dropped 41 perceni between the last week of June and mid-September, according to Nielsen NetRatings, which monitors Internet usage.
