Roxio CEO Chris Gorog says the company plans to relaunch Napster as a label-licensed, for-pay subscription service later this year, Billboard Bulletin reports.

Roxio, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based CD-burning software specialist, acquired the assets of Napster last year. Roxio says it is now in negotiations with the major record companies to secure content licenses and has hired Napster founder Shawn Fanning as a consultant in developing the new service.

Gorog says Roxio will likely use its newly launched jukebox application AudioCentral, a feature in the latest version of its Easy CD Creator software, as the interface for the new Napster service. The new version of Napster is initially expected to offer a mix of subscription and a la carte downloads. The service is not expected to feature on-demand streaming.
