The service will probably be based on the technology from Pressplay, which was purchased by Roxio in May. Napster 2.0 will face tough competition from Aplle's iTunes, Buy.com's BuyMusic, and others.

Can't We all just get along? O btw have the shit I listen to most stores don't even carry if they do it's very limited, so until Virgin, HMV, and the local knuckleheads wake up and realize there is more to music than Aerosmith, POD, and the likes fah-Q Record executives. I will continue to leech and be leeched! O and btw I do support my favorite artists just to let you know I'm not a total parasite.
iTunes seems to be a big success due to two reasons: You can burn the purchased tracks to audio CD and you can put them on your portable iPod (iMAC users). Also, the iTunes service does not use that dreaded Windows Media format. In order for this service to be a success, Roxio will need to allow one to burn purchased tracks to CD. If this can be done, they can be used on MP3 players (burn to CD & rip to MP3).
Why bother with itune when there is other services even better.
Not sure what P2P you guys use, but give this a whirl mIRC and add the channels #mp3collective, #mpglovers, etc. or just do a search in your little globe for mp3, or mpg, even better yet zip I don't think I've ever paid for software in my life, oh yea don't forget your crack codes for your trial versions, you'd be amazed how trial they really are once you install the crack!! And in case your ISP likes to keep track of where you go and what you do with P2P, they can't with mIRC all they see is bandwitdth being eaten up by your insane downloads for whatever you desire.
Yea it's all dumb shit until you have a Dvd Quality blockbuster movie burning in your computer a week before it hits the cinemas.
Be interesting to see the way napster works with the amount of competition around now on the p2p front.
