Yahoo May Tie Up With MusicNet; Gears For Music Service

(sub. req.): yhoomusic1.gif
This is the same story as below, but merits separate post: Yahoo’s preparing to launch its online music service within a few months (as I reported some details here first)…both a download site and subscription service (separate from its radio service Yahoo Launch), expected to be in association with MusicNet. (The logo on the right is the Japanese site…nice one. They should use a similar one for U.S.)

By the end of the month, Yahoo no longer will accept ads within Launch from rivals in the music market, cutting off a potential source of visitor traffic to these other sites (a marketing relationship between Yahoo and Napster will expire at the end of the month).

Meanwhile, MTV and Virgin may start selling music over the Internet by the end of this year or early next year…
