Yahoo launches Music service
The company that does not quit (ie. Yahoo!) launched their Yahoo Music Unlimited music service. For $6.99 a month, you get to rent songs from their 1 million+ strong song library. You don't only have the rent option though. You'll be able to buy a full album fo $8 and for $0.79 you can download a song permanently. Pretty much beating everyone (iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody) at the price game, it's not expected that Yahoo will topple what is the iTunes giant since Yahoo music downloads don't transfer all that easily to an iPod. Yahoo will suport devices from Dell, Creative and iRiver. Good move on Yahoos part but the fact that it isn't iPod compatible isn't helping them out. ¶ 6:28 AM
