Yahoo Kills Plans For Download Music Service in Europe

Yahoo Europe has ended its contract with OD2 to run its digital distribution dotmusic-on-demand service. The two had become partners as a result of Yahoo’s acquisition of Dotmusic from BT in October. But Yahoo said that a music download service didn’t fit with its strategic music service plans now or in the foreseeable future.

Dotmusic will now be killed off as a standalone brand and will instead be integrated into Yahoo’s Launch service specifically around entertainment, news and reviews.
