Roxio To Become Napster


Roxio To Become Napster 08/09/2004 08:29 PM
It's been less than two years since Roxio snapped up Napster's assets. While they've been doing their best to divert student fees at universities to Napster, overall the offerin g has struggled. Still, it apparently appears like a better bet than Roxio's boring old consumer software division, so they've decided to get out of that business entirely, rename themselves Napster, and focus on losing money to the RIAA on every sale.

Steve Jobs has admitted in the past that Apple isn't looking to make money off of iTunes. Instead, they view iTunes as a loss leader for selling more iPods - where they make their real margin. So, it's a bit surprising that Roxio appears to be going in the other direction. They're now giving away an MP3 player to anyone who signs up for one year of Napster. Of course, it's a cheap MP3 player with only 128 megs of storage, but the concept is still the same.
