AOL is trying to find a winning music service to feed to its users once again. AOL bought MusicNow from CircuitCity a while back, but apparently that wasn't working out so well. AOL is trying again, this time with Napster at the musical helm. Sure, Napster isn't perfect, but it is much better than MusicNow. AOL will do much better with Napster, and Napster is apparently pretty happy too, since AOL's move will put Napster in the number two spot for biggest music service by revenue according to PC World. Any current MusicNow users will be able to transition to Napster, but keep their accounts, as AOL plans to move all 350,000 accounts to the new service over the next 60 days. AOL ditches MusicNow for Napster

I love that the free edition of Napster lets you listen to everything a few times, I think it's a great model. I guess we'll see, but I guess I should join first if I think it's so great.

AOL is infamous for ruining great companies. Winamp, Netscape... And now MusicNow. Hopefully, Weblogs isn't one of them.
