Napster gets you music in a safe, reliable and legal way.
In 1999, teenager Shawn Fanning's Napster software revolutionized the concept of distribution of music over the Internet. Due to the climate of the music industry at the time, Napster was shut down before a deal could be made to compensate the artists and songwriters who produced the music. Napster is back with the answer for both the music industry and music fans: safe, legal and reliable access to hundreds of thousands of songs. Tens of thousands of artists now offer their music on Napster with new artists and music added every day.
