Napster

Napster . . . which launched way back in 1999 . . . just sold for $207 MILLION.  (???)  Yes, the year is 2025.

A lot of people didn’t know it was even still around.  It’s like Spotify or Apple Music, but not as popular.  Their big selling point is the audio is less compressed, so people who want good sound quality prefer it.

A metaverse company called Infinite Reality just bought it.  They say they plan to “transform” Napster into a “social and interactive music platform.”  Or basically, virtual concerts.

You’ll buy tickets like normal, and use a V.R. headset to watch artists perform in more intimate settings.  (I bet I’ll still somehow end up with crappy seats.)

Quote, “Imagine stepping into a virtual venue to watch an exclusive show with friends, [or] chat with your favorite artist in their own virtual hangout.”  They say you’ll even be able to buy merch in there.
