Roxio + Pressplay = Napster

Roxio, makers of the wonderful Toast and Easy CD Creator programs, has today purchased PressPlay online music store from Universal/Sony and will apparently relaunch it under the Napster name. Big competition for the iTunes Music Store?

I didn't think Roxio was big enough dollar wise to be a player. This seems like a higher stakes business...It will be interesting to see how similar they will be to the Apple music model...Let the games begin...

don't you just love that when apple shows you can download 1 million songs in a week how quickly the music industrie can change its model.
