Napster at Rochester U; Penn State

The new Napster, which has been installed at Rochester University and Penn State, is humming along according to expectations. After a month of being turned on at Rochester, close to 1,200 students have signed up [it is free for students] . UR has 3,700 on-campus students, but roughly 25 percent of them cannot access Napster because their computers don’t meet the system requirements.

UR is the second university in the nation to try such a pilot program with Napster; Pennsylvania State University in January unveiled a similar arrangement for its 17,000 on-campus students. More than half of those students are using the service, according to Penn State.
