Napster Beta 10.3 has been released. With this new version many songs that recently disappeared from the network because they were blocked, are now available again. Or how napster says it: "improving the Napster experience".
 Help has arrived," the company wrote in a message on its site late Friday. The new technology "allows Napster to continue complying with the court's injunction, while blocking only the files we've been told to remove." |
Napster's song-swapping filters, installed at the insistence of the courts and the record industry after several court battles, had dramatically reduced the number of songs available. As a result, many Napster users have switched to other file-swapping services.
Of course a nice effort to stop people from quitting Napster. But will it work? We'll see when Webnoize releases new numbers again. In the meantime the average number of files shared by a person on the Napster network fell from 220 in February to just 21 by the end of May. Download the new beta here.
