Yahoo! Music Engine

May 10th 2005 Posted to Computers, Music, Software, Stuff I like, Web, Windows, Yahoo

The Yahoo! Music Engine was launched tonight.

Yahoo is offering unlimited downloads from a library of 1 million songs for $6.99 per month or $60 for an annual subscription. That’s a sharp discount from Los Angeles-based Napster and Seattle-based Real Networks Inc., which both charge $14.95 per month, or just under $180 annually, for similar services.

The Yahoo! Music Engine is a Windows media player with MP3 management, LAUNCHcast integration, sharing with Messenger buddies, music directories, recommendations and a subscription service - and there are already lots of cool plugins for it.
