It's the second major international expansion of the service, which recently debuted in the UK. Napster 2.0 launches in Canada with more than 300,000 tracks from the five major record labels -- BMG, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Canada and Warner Music Canada, as well as a number of independent labels."<br /><br />Roxio seems to be aggressively moving its Napster service into markets where iTunes doesn't already have a presence. It remains unclear whether this strategy will gain them a foothold or not, but I give Roxio credit for using good sound business tactics.
