The free show, which coincides with the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on digital music, is being organized as a thank you for the Napster supporters who are planning to attend the hearing to show their support for Napster. To further support the idea of using the Internet and tools such as Napster and websites such as DCN to promote artists and expand audiences, Dispatch, DCN and Napster are planning to release several live Dispatch tracks through Napster's Featured Music Program in the weeks following the concert. Several other Dispatch webcasts can be found archived at Digital Club Network.
Word of mouth is powerful and works wonders.
We know it can be tough to find our records, and we know that without Napster, word of mouth can only do so much. Napster's software application enables users to locate and share music files through a user-friendly interface, and features instant messaging, chat rooms, and Hot List User Bookmarks. In January 2001, edel Music and TVT Records joined the alliance. Last year, Napster won several Wired Magazine Readers Rave Awards, including Best Music Site, Best Innovative Start-up, and Best Guerilla Marketing.
