| 1 | 7375 | 2005 | In a quest to break Apple's grip on the online music market, Yahoo introduced a new service that allows users to download and play music for a monthly subscription fee. Users can fill their computers and select portable music devices with as much music as they want; however, when the user stops paying the subscription, the music will become unplayable. The rental service is more complicated than the direct purchase offered by Apple with different categories of music facing different rules. Yahoo's program is accessed through free music jukebox software. A year of services runs at $60, monthly fees are $6.00. The service is easy to personalize and music can be shared with friends. |
