Napster Apologizes For Blocking Too Many Songs
If you've noticed that it's getting increasingly hard to find just about anything on Napster lately, the file-sharing service has an explanation: it's called "overblocking."

The New Spin: Paying for Online Tunes
Rock freak Rob Glaser has 2,000 songs on his computer's hard drive, ripped from his CD collection of such faves as Foo Fighters, U2 and Poe, plus Napster downloads, mostly of outtakes, live cuts and TV performances. "I tip my hat to Napster not just for showing there'd be a demand for download music, but also for proving that a lot of what people want to download isn't just the studio versions," he says.

Best MP3 player you’ve never heard
If you’re in the market for a portable digital audio player, you’ve probably considered all of the well-known devices, from Creative Labs’ Nomad line to Sonicblue’s Rio line. But if you limit yourself to the big boys, you’re going to miss out on one of the top players on the market. In fact, Archos Technology’s Jukebox 6000 is hands down the best player you’ve never heard of and arguably better than most of the ones with which you are familiar.
