First Abbatar tour date - Friday May 27th 2022
Just leaving it out there
I am a bit lost
What is this thing called "new app"
Have been out Dinosaur hunting this morning and bagged myself a TRex, that was easy
I wonder if AM and SH genuinely thought that when they launched their VR app that by now that they would have hundreds of millions of users, just like that, and that they now genuinely believe that the fact that they haven't is nothing to do with them and that it is everyone elses fault
Further, should the Napster/MVR combo prove to be successful, as many here hope, perhaps they now perceive that they will not receive the riches and adulation of being a 'Steve Jobs' like figure, something that they perhaps either aspire to be, or believe that they are.
From memory Steve Jobs appreciated share holders and delivered value to them.
@HarryCaul - what makes you think this is the bottom ?
I understand that a tin of beans has aleady been procured as a stand in
Good news whilst 'coming soon' can't come soon enough
If you want a dose of reality, look at the traffic metrics for www.napster.com at;
https://www.similarweb.com/website/napster.com/#overview
Daily site visits at the start of 2021: 2M
Now : 1.5M
Seems as good a measure as any to watch when things kick into gear
For comparison www.spotify.com gets nearly 400M daily visits
I've asked it
Others have asked it
But nobody has supplied a credible answer to the question......
Why is no effort being made to reinvigorate the marketing of the existing Napster proposition to attract some new members ahead of the revamped app launch ? ...... it seems a no brainer
Surely one extra tweet a week is not too difficult, or perhaps it is ?
Or is it going to be a free giveaway subscription to a premium channel/service of 3 or 6 months at app launch, on the basis that it is all about price and 6 months free takes you up to the start of festival season 2022, just when you are most likely to pay
The Napster thing seems to me to be at the bottom of it's particular pit
I call it a "Thing" because nobody outside of AM's clique really know what we will be presented with at the end of the year
What I think can be said is that user numbers of the VR/360 element of the "The thing" will grow
User numbers of audio element of "The thing" wil grow
History of such "Things" suggest that more money will be called for at the relaunch at the end of the year
My only hope is that "The Thing" doesn't turn out to be a horror story
Just for interest,

Does anyone think that "The Management" will be getting on the phone to Glastonbury to say 'fancy doing a proper live stream next year' or will it be a case of waiting for the phone to ring ?
Did I miss something happening to Bill Patrizio, erstwhile CEO of Napster US
He seems to have disappeared from the corporate team, I don't remember an announcement
AM said a couple of times that they were not trying (not said - with a supportive music industry) to build a competitor to Apple
However, watch his eyes each time he says it and I think you might come to a different conclusion.
My mind goes back to an interview with the Sony UK's top man a couple of years who more or less said that the music industry hated the pricing policy of music apps such as Apple and if only they could build their own !
Lordfont, be a bit more positive, the share price didn't go down today !
