it’s a shame because imeem really made all the innovation and myspace has had it in for them ever since it started censoring any mention of imeem

The Napster experience wasn't a great one -- compared to the music services we have today. That said, it did change the music biz forever. And back in the day, it was beloved. If you recall, a number of universities had to ban it because heavy student use was overwhelming their networks. That particular demographic is among the many MySpace is targeting with this effort.

Napster was not in its heyday a great music experience. It was just FREE MP3s with little in competition at that time. In fact the experience for users was quite lousy.
