Napster is a music streaming service that was originally founded in 1999 as a peer-to-peer music file-sharing platform. It quickly became known as one of the first and most popular ways to share music for free, which led to legal troubles and eventually the closure of the original Napster in 2001.
After its closure, Napster was relaunched in 2003 as a legal music streaming service and changed owners and brands over the years. In 2011, it was acquired by Rhapsody, another music streaming service, and Napster has continued as a premium music streaming service ever since. It offers millions of songs and playlists, and users can stream, download, and play music across a variety of devices.
