Napster Business Model Not Generating Revenue

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the big-shocker-there dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We all know that Apple generates revenue from iTMS via hardware sales. How the hell can pureplay music stores like Napster generate revenue enough to even stay alive? They don't. Is this the first indication of the bubble bursting? Is it time to figure out what to do when your Napster WMA files go unsupported after Napster 2 dies?"

    Well if its taking you 20minutes to copy a 7mb file YOUVE GOT SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOUR MACHINE. PROBABLY A FULL HD OR A HD ABOUT TO GO OUT. While HD's are now common pieces between macs and pcs it is by no means the PCs fault. So CUT THE SHIT dumbass. It doesnt take 20mins to copy 7mb file on any decent machine mac or pc. So it would appear that your computer has some serious problems so it must be the PCs suck...wrong. Ive sold and installed thousands of MACS and thousands of PC's. Even Macs have problems.... Wow i can do all these things on my PCs and macs with no problems. Well lets see you can listen to songs in their entirety on Napster which you cannot do on iTunes. How come Apple cant seem to let you hear the whole sone but instead gives you 30 secs. Thanks ill stick with Napster.
