Roxio looks to slice Apple pie

New York Post: "Companies are angling to catch up [to Apple iTunes] on the Windows side. The first major threat arrives in mid-February from Roxio, owner of the Napster online music store. Roxio's Creator 7 will be the closest thing to iTunes on the market — so close that it almost looks like the Apple service. It's integrated with Napster, allowing users to download songs, organize playlists, load a digital-music player and burn a CD ... One advantage for Roxio is that Creator supports a number of digital-music players, whereas iTunes is limited to the iPod. Creator also plays songs from other music stores, such as Wal-Mart, that use Microsoft's digital-music format. Because Creator includes video and digital-photo editing functions, Roxio also markets it as an all-in-one digital media solution."
