TechTV gave the following summary comments concerning the relaunch of Napster.
Summary: Napster 2.0's official launch on Oct. 29 will further broaden the digital-audio field for the PC audience. The combination of a music store, extra premium features, a sweet interface, community features, and its recognizable name should spell success for a grown-up Napster.I've tried the new Napster and I like it a lot. But I hate the name because of the history of piracy. 12-year-old girls get sued and the Napster dudez make out. Grrrr.Gene Munster, senior research analyst with US Bancorp Piper Jaffray, thinks so too.
"If you look at the brand, the Napster brand dwarfs all others," Munster said. "So I think this is a situation where the dark horse is going to actually win."
