Snocap Inc., a developer of technology for buying music downloads on MySpace.com, has laid off more than half its work force so it can focus on a strategy to sell the company.The cuts pared down the San Francisco-based company's staff from 57 employees to 26. Snocap CEO Rusty Rueff says management has determined the best course for the company is to be part of a larger entity.

Rueff says the firm has already drawn interest from several companies.
