Napster Relaunch Line-Up
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver October 24th, 2003
A new, legitimate version of Napster is set to go live on the 29th October, and a launch gig will be held in Los Angeles featuring the diverse line-up of rapper Ludacris, emo tykes Dashboard Confessional, and masters of gloom Interpol, as well as Metric and DJ Melo-D.

The new service is provided by Roxio, who acquired the Napster name after the 'proper' Napster was closed down, will offer users an iTunes-style pay-as-you-go service. It will also allow users to email 30 second clips of tracks to their friends.

Roxio chairman Chris Gorog said: "October 29th is a cause for celebration for music fans everywhere... this concert is a way for us to bring the cutting edge artists of the day to the fans that make it all happen."
