According to Appleinsider, the win version of iTunes will be here next week on the 16th.

and maccentral, they got an invitation

It's time for Apple to kick some ass. I can't wait. They are actually launching this thing 12 days before the relaunch of Napster!

I guess we'll see a massive ad campaign (since this will appeal to nearly anyone with a computer). Also, there'll most probably be a major addition to the music library. Having fewer songs then the competitors is just embarrasing... (especially when everything else is better!)

Well, will appeal to nearly everyone with a computer in the USA.

They're launching Napster 2 on my birthday?

Who told them they could do that?

Napster 2.0 only resembles the original in name. It is just a rebranded PressPlay.

Bah, why the hell can they do that? Blatantly ripping off iTunes

Axo1ot1 · Oct 10, 2003, 07:38 AM

Maybe Apple will sue them out of the business

Absolutely! Would be nice if they worked at bringing this service to the rest of the world's Mac users before giving it to PC users. Oh and Napster has nice system requirements:

System Requirements
PC only, Windows XP/2000, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, Windows Media Player 7.1 or higher, Internet connectivity

Certainly does look a lot like the iTMS is many ways too.

If your damn music companies would agree to the same deals the United States RIAA agreed to, you have it too you know...
