Napster Sells 5 Million Songs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the will-they-be-here-a-year-from-now dept.

mattmcal writes "CNet reports that Napster has already sold 5 million songs. The number is impressive despite lagging behind Apple which maintains a 56% market share according to SiliconValley.com. The integration with portable devices must play a key role in the download volume which Apple has also developed for the mini iPod."
