First Napster 2.0 Review

Posted by michael on from the new-and-improved-hah-hah-hah dept.

prostoalex writes "Matthew Fordahl from Associated Press is trying out Napster 2.0, which, according to the review, has some serious stability issues. At least for Fordahl the software 'repeatedly crashed during installation and brought down the entire computer with it.' They also have this picture of this Samsung Napster-branded digital music player."

  1. iTunes for Windows by BWJones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, given that S. Jobs just officially anounced iTunes for Windows, stability issues for Napster are moot for all those windows users out there.

    A) The software is beta
    B) The issues the reviewer had seems to have been hardware related, as was stated in the article

    So, do slashdot editors READ the story they post? How about those that submit it? Do they just read half way, find something they don't like, and submit?

  3. Ahh, marketers... by Shenkerian · · Score: 2, Insightful
    That's not to say Napster 2.0, available to the public Oct. 29, 2003, has lost all traces of the old. The headphoned kitty logo is still there - in fact, everywhere.

    Even if nothing else is the same, thank goodness the logo's still there. It clearly means Napster is exactly the same. What a relief!

    You tell me how "whilst" differs from "while," and I'll stop calling you a pretentious jackass.
