Apple, Napster among Legal Music Downloading Services Offered to the Public.
Byline: Don Steinberg
Oct. 16--The music industry may finally be discovering a way to combat the rampant, free trading of music on the Internet that it says has cost it billions in lost sales. The strategy: offering music downloading services worth paying for.
Today, Apple Computer is expected to announce the availability of its iTunes Music Store -- which has sold more than 10 million 99-cent song downloads to Apple computer users since it began in April -- to users of Microsoft Windows computers, a vastly larger market.
Then on Oct. 29, a new version of Napster will launch, also selling downloaded songs to Windows users. The original Napster was a nightmare for record companies, letting millions of people worldwide trade music online without paying for it. The industry sued it out of business, but other software for trading music on the Internet has taken its place.
