Is Shawn Fanning's Snocap melting?

newtley writes "Rumors are swirling about the pending demise of Napster creator Shawn Fanning's Snocap, says former MP3.com CEO Michael Robertson. 'Articles mention a sale, but more likely it will be a shuttering and quiet bankruptcy,' he believes. 'Snocap represents a commonplace occurrence in the music business — an unprofitable retailer which withers and eventually dies.'"

    When not on Slashdot, I'm the owner of CD Baby, which was the largest provider of music to Snocap.

    Snocap had everything going for them, and could have probably succeeded, but their execution was so bad that it was unbearable.

    Check out my What happened with CD Baby and Snocap article, and especially the comments below it, with all these musicians so frustrated that Snocap won't reply to anybody's emails.

    The most brilliant idea, with bad execution, is worth nothing.
