Rhapsody Rebrands Itself As Napster (thenextweb.com)

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday June 14, 2016 @09:50AM from the tarnnished-reputation dept.

An anonymous reader writes: After completing its purchase of Napster in December 2011, Rhapsody has decided to rebrand itself as Napster. Rhapsody made the announcement on their blog, which states: "No changes to your playlists, favorites, albums, and artists. Same music. Same service. Same price. 100% the music you love. Stay tuned!" That's it. The company didn't elaborate as to why they decided to change their name now. Napster has made a name for itself as being a brand synonymous with illegal music downloads. It'll be interesting to what kind of effect, if any, this has on Rhapsody.

Keep up with the times, Slashdot. We prefer the expression "undocumented music downloads" nowadays.
