Infinite Reality has acquired Napster for $207 million, planning to reimagine it as a social music platform. CEO Jon Vlassopulos emphasized the need for evolution in streaming, aiming for immersive 3D concert experiences and enhanced artist monetization. Musicians will benefit from better analytics and a marketplace for digital and physical merchandise. Launched in 1999, Napster was initially known for music piracy, later transitioning to a subscription service under Rhapsody in 2011. With this acquisition, Infinite Reality hopes to revive Napster's disruptive legacy in the music streaming industry, amid user skepticism about the brand's future.
