Napster returns to its roots
July 8, 2008 by Admin
Napster, at one time the most infamous peer-to-peer music file sharing service is back in action, with the launch of a fully legal music store. The company, once in heavy legal trouble for abetting music piracy, will now sell music in MP3 format without any copy restrictions. The MP3 format allows for compatibility with iPods, and Napster will be marketing itself directly at iPod users who are tied in to the iTunes Music Store because of conflicting formats.
Songs are currently available only to US customers, in 256kbps quality for $0.99 each. A subscription service also runs, but these tracks will come with a form of digital copy protection.
