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."

    My posting-date is earlier, it's in the correct forum, and I hereby label Moo Kore 2004 a cheap low-down karma-whoring scumbag not fit to retype the words of my comments.

    If you changed the logo to Porshe or something of that nature, you'd have something quite analogous to an MP3...

    I have seen a Ford Escort. Yes, a Ford Escort, that someone had actually branded as a Porsche. It had perfect and professional Porsche logos in all the necessary places. Not sure what the point was!!!

  8. Public Key for 20721/31337 Post Moving. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Effective immediately, all legitimate Post Movings will be signed with this public key. Any Moving not signed with this key was posted by an imposter. It is unfortunate that this additional verification is neccessary, but a small band of impersonatorial thoughtcriminals has attempted to undermine the Post Reclassification system, and this is the only option for maintaining an acceptable level of integrity.
