Napster is one of the most iconic brands in music and the longest-running independent music streaming service. Over the years, the company has delivered more than $1BN to artists and given music fans access to more than 70 million tracks. Napster kicked off the digital era 20 years ago when it helped more than 75M fans have their first digital music experience.
