Napster cuts roughly 10 management jobs
JAN. 25 9:37 P.M. ET Online music retailer Napster Inc. on Wednesday said it had cut roughly 10 middle management-level jobs, but dismissed reports suggesting it is on the auction block and that a wider round of layoffs was pending.
The company declined to specify exactly how many employees it had dismissed. Before the job cuts, which occurred Tuesday, the Los Angeles-based company's worldwide staff totaled 153.
In a statement, Napster attributed the layoffs to redundancies formed when the company consolidated operations for its subscription service. No additional cuts were being contemplated, the company said.

Napster, the original, got shut down, and new Napster is also struggling. Napster has a good brand name, but it is also destined to fail as a business?
