Napster to provide music to Penn State 11/07/2003 02:05 AM

During a panel presentation on peer-to-peer file sharing at the Educause conference this morning, Graham Spanier , President of The Pennsylvania State University , announced a deal with Napster that will give Penn State students access to music for $.99 per song downloaded. A Penn State press release outlines the way in which the service is expected to work:

• Students living in residence halls at a dozen Penn State campuses will be able to participate initially.
• Unlimited streaming of music files will be available from Napster’s inventory of more than 500,000 songs.
• Tethered downloading is included at no additional charge. This means a student can download and keep the music files on up to three personal computers. These songs can be burned to CDs or transferred to portable devices if purchased for 99 cents each.

Penn State plans to roll out a pilot of the program beginning in January. The deal is being promoted as a way to provide students with the ability to download music legally while addressing issues of bandwidth overload.

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.

on the Stock Exchange


Napster: From Trading Music To Trading
on the Stock Exchange
09/19/2004 09:28 AM
Like a phoenix from the ashes, Napster has come back not once, but twice it seems. Since Roxio bought the Napster name and logo a couple years ago at a bankruptcy auction, Napster received a new "lease on life". This time around Napster isn't just a service, it's to become a public company and will be traded on the stock exchange.

Roxio has recently sold off it's CD-burning software business in a move to concentrate solely on selling music online. Using Napster as it's company name, it will allow Roxio to compete with other online music delivery services from the likes of Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Apple.

Roxio's sale of its software business landed them a cool $80 million in cash and stocks which will give Napster a cash base of more than $100 million once the deal closes, expected by year's end.

"One of the most important questions for our investors is, 'Does Napster have the staying power to stay and thrive?' Having the cash answers that question," said Chris Gorog, chief executive and chairman of Roxio.

It will be more than enough to cover Napster until it becomes profitable, Gorog said, "and we're on a clear path to do that."
