Roxio is getting out of the CD burning business and changing its name to Napster and constrating on online music sales.

Aren't executives frickin' brilliant? Why not sell off profitable business in order to move wholeheartedly into a money losing business. Genius!!Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry CoxComment

Well, if they turn out to be right, they are said to have "vision".
And if they fail, they get golden parachutes.
I guess they are just going for the option that will be for fun for them.Comment

I think it's excellent news for everyone involved. Board members get to be back in the entertainment business full time, engineers actually get to work on software at Sonic...
OK, so Napster is likely to fall on it's sword in a few months/years, at which point the execs will probably appeal to MS that napster is such an important part of MCE that they have to throw money at them.MURC COC Minister of Wierd Confusion (MWC)Comment

I don't like Roxio's software anymore anyway. These days, I'm a Nero man.P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment

Yeah, I bet they were getting butchered by Nero. That and people think online music download will take over all music sales. I have a $60 credit for SOny Connect (got it for free for driving a Lexus IS 300 ..mmmmmmm... ) and haven't found a single song I want to download yet

Nero ate almost the whole CD/DVD burninating software industry. And it did it by being good software, rather then marketing and smoke and mirrors.80% of people think I should be in a Mental Institute

Roxio (ne: Adaptec) going out of the burning business?
LONG overdue since Aheads NERO came along. Now that's a REAL piece of more-than-just-useful software.
