AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.
You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.
Napster has taken yet another step towards legal subscription-based service by inking deals with more than 150 European indie labels to use their content in Napster's up-coming subscription service.
Deals with UK-based Association of Independent Music, Belgium-based Impala and other trade bodies of independent labels give Napster access to artists like Tom Jones and Moby. The deal, however, doesn't cover third-party publishing rights, which Napster must still negotiate in order to offer the music as part of its service.
