Prizefight: Napster versus Rhapsody
A collection of judges from CNET put Napster and Rhapsody through their paces, pitting the music stores head-to-head in five bone-shaking rounds. See who comes out on top in this subscription music service battle.
Napster has come a long way since its inception as a file-sharing service 10 years ago, and there is little doubt that without it, Rhapsody wouldn't exist--at least not in the form we enjoy today.

But who will come out on top when we pit Napster and Rhapsody against each other in five bone-shaking rounds? Read on for the answer.
