I think the most difficult thing had been scaling the infrastructure. Trying to support the response we had received from our users and the number of people that were interested in using the software.

Independent artists and labels have always been the trendsetters in music and the music business.

I think it's pretty obvious to most people that Napster is not media specific, but I could see a system like Napster evolving into something that allows users to locate and retrieve different types of data other than just MP3s or audio files.

If you think about computer programming, it's as antisocial as it gets.

Nobody has ever built a reliable peer-to-peer service, where people can really access all the music they want in one location,... Once I got it into my head, I couldn't imagine the media space without one.

I think in terms of the work were doing now a lot of the UI cleanup... I see it getting much prettier.

But I just really think there is a natural extension into other types of media because it's an excellent system for reliably locating and retrieving content.
