Roxio is a division and brand of
Sonic Solutions. It was originally a digital media company created from the 2001 spin-off of
Adaptec's Software Products Group followed by the 2002 acquisition of
MGI Software. Roxio's management chose to pursue the digital music download and subscription market at the expense of Roxio's CD and DVD products, and soon acquired both
Pressplay and the remains of
Napster. Needing cash to keep the online music service going, Roxio sold the rest of the company to
Sonic Solutions in 2003 and changed its name to
Napster, Inc..
