Apple Shutting Down Lala on May 31
Lala - Where music plays

so Apple bought Lala in December, and now they're killing it. Lala streamed full songs, and often full albums, but you could only listen to each track once. it was a nice way to listen to new music, and then decide if the album was worth buying. you know, if that was something you were into.

Apple = the man keeping us down

Every time a website is shut down, a new one will appear to replace it.

All I can think of is...

When the lala hits ya lyrics just splits ya
Head so hard, that ya hat can't fit ya
Either I'm witcha or against ya
Format venture, back through that maze I sent ya
Talkin to the rap inventor

They bought them for their IP's not the service.

So far it has allowed them to go from 10sec previews to 30sec. But the rest of the tech will be incorporated in the next iTunes.

yes, this is nothing new.
I guess it makes sense from a business perspective.
Lala was more or less a competitor to Apple in terms of selling mp3's

agreed it sucks though.
iirc lala mp3's were a bit cheaper.
I use the site frequently for checking out new music.

Oh well, what's the next best LEGAL alternative aside from iTunes?

All single-disc albums in FYE are $9.99 or less, and I will mention that fact every time I mention music on my blog until they cut me a check.
