More accurately, it's to do with this:

"We've now developed more sophisticated filtering tools based on a new
file-identification technology that uses "acoustic fingerprinting." This
technology will allow us to identify more accurately the works shared in the
Napster Community and to block the music that we have received notices on
(as the 9th Circuit has required). In the long run, this process will
improve the Napster experience. It is also an important element of our new
system that will pay artists when their works are shared through Napster.

We launched our new application using this technology last week, and as of
Wednesday, June 27, we're no longer supporting earlier versions of the
Napster application. "
