Napster, the peer-to-peer file-sharing service that turned dorm rooms into industry-crippling caves, broadband-sniffing teenagers into defendants, and introduced consumers to a free buffet of all-you-can eat digital music that has claimed half of the sales of recorded music, is finally being put to rest. Napster, which has been operating as a legitimate, subscription-based music service, has been sold by Best Buy Inc. to Seattle’s Rhapsody, the trailblazing subscriptions service that is fending off new competitors like Spotify in the U.S. “This is the end,” Rhapsody spokesperson Jaimee Steele said of Napster.At the end of November, Napster subscribers will be folded into Rhapsody, and the company will phase out the iconic brand in the U.S. Steele said that Best Buy stores were removing their promotions for the brand as early as today. She went on to say that the company is still considering whether to let the Napster brand survive in Europe – where Rhapsody does not yet have a business – or to convert subscribers to Rhapsody.Rhapsody claims 800,000 paying subscribers – the largest paying service of its kind of the U.S. – and is set to greatly expand its base with the deal. Though Rhapsody would not say how many subscribers the company picked up in the deal, Steele said they would announce a new subscriber number in the near future.
