Napster has organized its resolutions for 2008 and it looks like its going to put a smile on our face as well as theirs. They are going to be creating all of the songs that they offer on their PC service and formatting them into MP3 files. All of the albums and single tracks will be exclusive to MP3 format – which can be uploaded onto any MP3 player iPod, and even the iPhone.

Napster is making history by being the first music subscription service featuring major label content to announce a 100% adoption of the MP3 format for download sales. Users of Napster’s on-line download store and Napster’s subscription offerings, Napster and Napster To Go, will soon be able to purchase MP3s to enhance their Napster music experience.

Napster is the largest on-demand music subscription service in the industry and the unlimited music model will remain a core focus of the company. Napster To Go is the industry’s most successful portable subscription service and is supported by a wide array of device manufacturers including all major cell phone manufacturers, who are expected to ship many new Napster To Go compatible handsets in 2008.

Commenting on the company’s move to MP3s for download sales Napster’s Chairman and CEO Chris Gorog said, “As there is now a critical mass of support for MP3s we are very pleased to announce we will soon offer our customers the user-friendly MP3 file format throughout our product line-up and provide the top-tier content our users expect from Napster. The ubiquity and cross-platform compatibility of MP3s should create a more level playing field for music services and hardware providers and result in greater ease of use and broader adoption of digital music.”
