Napster is a name given to two music-focused online services. It was originally founded as a pioneering Internet service that emphasized sharing audio files, typically music, encoded in mp3 format. The original company ran into legal difficulties over copyright infringement , had to stop operations and was eventually acquired by Roxio. In its second incarnation Napster became an online music store until it was acquired by Rhapsody from Best Buy on December 1, 2011.
Later companies and projects successfully followed its P2P file sharing example such as, lime wire and many others. But lime wire like so many others had to follow suit and are no longer available.
