RE: Dumb iTunes Question - Napster 2.0

["Montgomery, Daniel E." <Montgomery@Mackinac.org>]

I won't say much more about the iPod, but here's the latest from one of it's competitors...

 

Napster faces plenty of problems
Napster had struck a deal with HP shortly before its launch that would have seen the music service arrive pre-installed on HP computers, but "HP suddenly -- and without explanation -- returned Napster's $250,000 check and canceled the agreement," reports The San Jose Mercury News. HP, of course, would later partner with Apple. This is just one of the blows that Napster 2.0 has suffered since its inception. The company lost $15 million in its first two months of operation, has seen several executives depart, and the latest data shows Napster 2.0 only holding 12 percent of the online music business, compared to Apple's 56 percent.

I logged on to the new Napster last night. I was all set to purchase my favorite Twisted Sister track (seriously), but their server kept telling me that, although my card was good, it thought my billing address was incorrect.

But hey, if you've got a non-iPod, there are plenty of other places to
check out for downloadable music (Napster 2.0, Rhapsody, etc).
