techcrunch.com — Napster announced the acquisition of AOL Music?s subscription service. They?ll add 350,000 new subscribers, get promotion on AOL, and pay just $15 million in cash. It?s not a bad deal, except it adds more unprofitable customers to the struggling company, and the company?s war chest just got significantly lighter.

"Who uses Napster or AOL? People who don't know what else is going on in the tech world. This doesn't affect anyone on Digg...."I dont see whats so bad about Napster, its easier to find what you want than usenet or bittorrent, cheaper than allofmp3 or itunes, its only real disadvantage is 128 kbps.

Since AOL owns musicnow that means that Rhapsody is the only major contender.

I don't think so. "Seppuku" is honorable.
