SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - MySpace is hoping to shake up the digitalmusic scene.
The popular online hangout plans to flip the switch Thursday on
a much-anticipated service that will give its roughly 120 million
users free access to hundreds of thousands of songs from the
world's largest recording labels.
But there's a catch.
The music can be played only on personal computers connected to
the Internet and listeners have to tolerate advertising splashed
across the screen. Anyone who wants to transfer a song to a
portable device like Apple's iPod will have to buy the music
through Amazon.com's year-old downloading service, which sells
songs for as little as 79 cents apiece.
Unlike much of the material at Apple's iTunes store, the music
sold through MySpace's new service won't contain the protections
that limit how many times a track can be copied.
