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.
