RealNetworks Creates Branded Rhapsody Music Store for Best Buy

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 16, 2007 - 11:02am.

Los Angeles - Electronics and media retailer Best Buy has partnered with RealNetworks to create a branded version of its Rhapsody digital music service, to replace a similar co-branded service created with Napster, Variety reported.

A Napster spokesman told Variety both companies agreed not to renew their deal when it expired several months ago.

The Best Buy-branded version of Rhapsody will be promoted in-store and on the retailer's website.

Best Buy will continue to sell gift cards for competing stores including iTunes and eMusic, but not for Napster.
