Napster Puts Up Two Million Free Songs for Streaming

NEW YORK ?- Napster Inc. (NAPS), the one-time renegade music download service, has returned to its roots with a new Web service which offers fans the chance to listen to over 2 million tracks for free.

The new service launched on Monday at Napster.com is supported by advertising and follows months of negotiations with record companies.

Napster will split advertising revenue with the record companies based on the number of times one of their artists' songs is played.

The new service, which comes in addition to Napster's existing subscription service, also allows users to send direct links of chosen tracks to friends. Users can listen to songs up to five times on the free site before having to pay.
