Los Angeles -- Napster, the digital music service unit of Roxio, announced on Monday that it has signed agreements with six schools to offer campus digital music services. The new deals with Cornell, George Washington University, Middlebury College, the University of Miami, USC and Wright State will complement Napster's existing agreements with Penn State University and the University of Rochester. Napster did not disclose whether students will be paying for the basic service as part of their tuition, but they will be charged $0.99 to burn tracks to CD or transfer them to portable players. Some schools will utilize Napster and IBM's "Super Peer" application, which caches the most popular Napster content on on-site IBM servers managed remotely by Napster. "Penn State's students have been thrilled with the Napster experience, downloading as many as 100,000 songs each day," said Penn State president Graham Spanier. "We see our Napster implementation as central to our effort to create a more student-centered university while at the same time offering an alternative to music piracy and copyright infringement."
