Yahoo switches to Real for unlimited music
by admin on Feb.05, 2008, under Freie Musik
Yahoo today tilted the balance of digital music by announcing that Yahoo Music would switch to RealNetworks’ Rhapsody for its on-demand music, replacing the Yahoo Music Unlimited service for subscription services. The move will see existing Yahoo subscribers transition over to Rhapsody accounts over the next several months, beginning mid-year, and will make Yahoo’s music services accessible from devices which were previously limited to the Real service; devices such as Logitech’s Squeezebox media streaming hub and TiVo recorders will now have access to Yahoo’s services. Both companies also plan to collaborate on a la carte downloads in the future.
