PressPlay, stylised pressplay, was a digital music store that operated from December 2001 until March 2003. It was a joint venture between Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment in response to the popularity of Napster and to rival RealNetworks' online service MusicNet, which had signed BMG, EMI and AOL Time Warner. The service was unpopular and widely derided.
