napster
Is there any ebooks or websites about the history of napster? If there is can please someone tell me where I can get them. By the way before roxio bought napster wasnt napster a pay site anyways after they got in trouble.

la times reporter joseph menn did a book. came out s few months ago.
i copped a copy from the library. kinda slow going but it fills in a lot of details, especially about the business aspects. it's called "all the rave: the rise and fall of shawn fanning's napster." excerpt - js. |
Does that book give an account ( ballpark wise ) of what happened to that 85 million dollars?

This is what I mean Im asking can I put a different website into here for home such as one I made?

not really sure what your asking here..hamzie :)
old napster maybe will connect to a few openap servers (if they are still around?) so its pretty much a lost cause i think.. if you want to know about napster 2.0 i think you questions maybe better addressed in their forum... (maybe sharpen up the way you put you questions a little :D) its basicly an iTunes clone as far as i know with DRM files of dubious quality.. as for changing the page that loads in these things when you start them..have a look around the options... if theres nothing there.. there maybe somewhere in a .ini file to change it.. sometimes this URL is embedded in the program and you cant change it maybe.. |
i think he just wants to know if the legacy client is configurable to open a different start page. i never changed the old napster's start page. reg hack mebbe?

looked like screen shot of napster 2.0 ;)
oops and it is..beta 10.. ok its not the new one out now...sorry just a thought but i was wondering about giving any advice on that program here.. |
ive done it. Get yourself a Hex Editor, and go through the code until you find the address for the page that comes up, then change it to whatever you want.
Make a backup copy of the exe file before you mod it |
I wonder if the Napster Inc. in Boston is still around or does Roxio now own that? Could I write to the oringinal napster owners a.k.a the fanning family. It would be cool for a new napster to open up with a different word added on to napster so you dont get sued by roxio. I had some ideas but doubt they will work.
