PressPlay + Roxio?

Posted by Hemos on Monday May 19, 2003 @03:13AM from the we're-getting-the-band-back-together dept.

securitas writes "The NY Times and the LA Times (via SJ Mercury News) report that Roxio is close to a $30 million deal to buy Pressplay from Universal and Sony. The struggling joint-venture has less than 50,000 subscribers after three years. Roxio bought the Napster brand and assets at a bankruptcy auction last year and plans to resurrect Napster as a legal service."

I'm not sure Apple should be rushing that Windows iTunes interface. Hell, they've had 7 years (?) for QuickTime for Windows and it still looks like ass.

It boggles my mind how a company that is so revered for it's UI design capabilities can turn out such a stinking heap of shit when it comes to x86 development.
