Roxio is selling it's software unit

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/10/roxio_turns_into_napster/
Apparently tricked by its own hype, Roxio has decided to sell off its
consumer software business and focus instead on the dubious online music
market. The company will go so far as to give up the Roxio name, taking on
the Napster name of its music division.

Sonic Solutions has agreed to pay $80m for Roxio's CD and DVD recording,
authoring, photo and video editing applications. Roxio will receive $70m in
cash and $10m worth of Sonic's stock. Roxio will also change its company
name to Napster and looks to trade under the symbol NAPS on the NASDAQ
exchange
