Napster, an innovation company powering the next generation of embodied and agentic AI, has introduced a redesigned mobile entertainment app for iOS and Android. The new app extends Napster's vision to mobile, offering a unified hub for AI-driven music, podcasts, wellness experiences, and collaborative creation. Users can interact with Napster's AI Companions, explore AI-generated audio, and co-create new work with AI artists directly on the platform.

Why it matters

Napster's new app represents a shift towards a future where passive consumption is replaced by active participation and co-creation with AI. By giving users the ability to experiment, collaborate, and publish with AI, Napster is breaking down the boundaries between artists and listeners, empowering everyone to become creators.

The details

The Napster app features a suite of creative and interactive features, including AI-generated music across genres, moods, and personal preferences; AI-hosted podcasts that evolve based on audience feedback; wellness experiences with generative ambient music and adaptive meditation soundtracks; and a first-of-its-kind AI artist collaboration feature that allows users to co-write, co-produce, and co-perform music with AI artists. Rather than licensing content from traditional record labels, the new Napster app is powered entirely by AI models, composition engines, and creator-driven prompts, making every experience adaptive and unique.

  • The new Napster app rollout follows the release of Napster View in Fall 2025 and the launch of Napster Station at CES in Las Vegas in 2026.
  • The Napster app is available worldwide on iOS and Android as of January 28, 2026.
