Napster is really napping

    Remember before ipods, itunes, mp3 players there were site like napster where we all would download music and burn CDs? Now its legal music downloads. During that time napster sold out and went legal music downloads way before the free downloading phase was slowing down and they have been losing money since then (not that they weren't making money before ;)). Napster is down 69% since begining selling its music and its 26.4 million subscribers is down to 760,000.

    What do your remeber about the time when it was the new thing to download free music and burn them on CDs? Is the poster child of the music file sharing period about to go bust?

    Real networks' rhapsody has many more subscribers that napster and is better for downloading different music files. I think Best buy wants to make an ipod - itunes style of music experience with napster and a new portable music player. :)
