Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster 164

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the so-i-heard-you-got-robbed dept.
MarketWatch reports that Best Buy has decided to toss $54 million into an acquisition of Napster. All told, the deal amounts to around $121 million, with about $67 million headed towards getting cash and short-term investments from Napster's balance sheet. "The deal will give Best Buy an online digital music retail outlet as well as a subscription streaming service that has about 700,000 subscribers. That could help Best Buy to compete against retail giant Wal-Mart, which has its own online digital music offering."

      I must say, I had more or less the same reacion. So, this says all things considered, they're spending about $121 million for Napster.

      What, exactly, are they getting for this? Sure, Napster is a well known name, but so are Edsel and New Coke. ;-)

      Does anyone have any insight into what about Napster in its current state (or any other) that actually makes any sense whatsoever to spend this kind of money?

        Napster has $67 million in cash and no debt. So while Best Buy is actually paying $121 million for Napster, they also get the $67 Million in cash -- that's where the $54 million fogure came from.

      Napster is a well known brand - and brand awareness is valuable - most folks have no idea whether Napster is good or not - but they know teh name.

      Best Buy essentially hedged its bets on the future of music distribution. WalMart is pushing to reduce the price of music it sells - as well as floor space dedicated to CD's. Wal-Mart's clout is driving the retail CD sales industry and labels are forced to play ball or risk losing significant sales volume; especially since WM really doesn't care if the carry a specific CD since it's contribution to revenue is small unlike the labels where a 10% sales drop can be very expensive. This is forcing the labels to rethink distribution, and Best Buy needs a foot in the door as the market evolves. It isn't just about online purchases but in stor kiosks and cheap memory cards / CD burns to sell a broder catalog at a much lower costs to the store - read higher margins.

      Napster gives them a quick and cheap way to get into the business without screwing up the Best Buy brand (I won't touch taht with a 10 foot pole) since problems will be associated with Napster, not BB. As it grows and the bugs get worked out they can transition to a BB branded service.

      Finally, it also gives them a way to move into the iPhone market *if* they can get a purchase app on the iPhone. Once they get it (Napster) up and running they are no longer trheatened by online purcases reducing CD sales as tehy have a foot in that market as well. In fact, depending on teh margins, they may prefer it.

          While I realize Apple does that, Best Buy probably has a bit more clout with Apple, and a lot more financial resources to devote to lawsuits, than the average app developer.

          It would far easier, and smarter, to allow BB to do sell music via an app than risk a court deciding that Apple's actions are anti-competitive.

      Seriously do you think Apple is scared of Best Buy? Apple isn't scared of Wal-mart which is larger, has a better IT infrastructure, and can get better deals with the media companies. The main reason Apple isn't scared is that iTunes Store exists only to sell more iPods and AppleTVs. It makes some profit but the company's future isn't bet on it. If iTunes Store were to shut down tomorrow due, it really would not hurt Apple. The problem for Best Buy leveraging downloads to sell mp3 players is that they offer nothing special and are really late to the game. Which DRM would they use? PlaysForSure? We all saw what happened to other MS partners. That would also eliminate their iPod customers as well. No DRM. They have to compete with Amazon and Apple with 700K singles compared to millions for each for Amazon and Apple. Would their integration be as easy to use as Apple or even MS Zune or would it be like every other player out there?

    Napster 2.0 is of course a Napster Branded music store created by Roxio.

    All the engineers from napster went off to setup their own music sites, the most high profile children of Napster are of course Snocap [snocap.com], which was setup by Shawn after napster 1.0 died and later got acquired by imeem.com [imeem.com] which was also started by napster engineers and has become the most popular web2.0 music site (over twice the users of last.fm).

    There's also finetune [finetune.com] and a few other small music projects that can trace some lineage to the original napster. Every single one of these descendants from napster are a whole lot more interesting and innovative than what the Napster brand ever did.

      Presumably you're talking about the later Napster efforts, right? The original Napster may not have been especially ethical, but there's no question that it was revolutionary and industry-shaking.

      • Yes, the revolutionary and industry shaking part of napster 1.0 clearly never got sold along with the brandname.

    Can't wait for Best Buy to add the "Extended Warranty" option to my on-line music purchases... :-)

      You know what? I bet they do. They might not call if "Extended Warranty". They'll probably call it "Download Protection" and sell it with lines like: "What if your hard drive crashes? Do you want to have to buy all that music again?"

      Just like with real extended warranties - mostly hogwash and lies.

  • I'm sure this will work out perfectly for them. I mean, take a look up here at Canada. Best Buy Canada is owned by Future Shop. And Future Shop opened their own digital music download store, too. It's called Bonfire, and...

    Wait, what's that? Oh, okay, it wasn't really their own download store. It was just Puretracks with a custom skin on it. In any case, it blazed their trail into the future of music downloads and...

    Huh? Oh. Okay, it turns out Bonfire [puretracks.com] was a massive flop and was shut down this year.

    Well, in

  • Here's what I don't get: Napster started as a free app to download pirated music. Now after many changes, it's being sold for millions of dollars. What are they exactly bringing to the table? Just the subscribers?

    The sale of myspace for an obscene amount of money makes more sense than this(eyes to see ads). Still not quite getting the Napster sale.

    Then again, this is the same world that the "I'm rich!" iPhone app sold for a while.

      Seems that way.

      Interesting maths that has the subscribers valued at around $40 million each.

  • Wired is running the same story, but with a $121 Million price tag [wired.com]

    Somebody's a bit off....

    • OK, in my defense, while I didn't read the summary past the first line, I did RTFA (which didn't mention $121M)

    • Wired is running the same story, but with a $121 Million price tag

      Best Buy is paying $121 million. However, Napster has about $67 million cash and short term investments, and since Best Buy buys the whole, complete company, they will aquire these $67 million as well, so their actual cost is only $54 million.

    Is for Best Buy to hire Larz to pimp Napster. Best Buy goes down the tubes like AOL/Time Warner. Larz goes bankrupt. And Shawn Fanning buys Napster for a dollar.
