mp3.com Acquired by CNet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the things-are-getting-interesting dept.

bmarklein writes "Looks like mp3.com is no more, at least not in its current form. According to an announcement on an mp3.com message board, CNet has acquired assets of mp3.com. The statement is very vague, but it says that following the redirection of the mp3.com domain on December 2nd, "all content will be deleted from [mp3.com's] servers." However they do plan to eventually introduce "new and enhanced artist services"."

    "Hi, welcome to the CNet mp3.com search!"

    "Sorry, your search under the categories 'independant artists' and 'mp3s' yielded no results... Did you mean you want to purchase Britney Spears WMAs?"

    One thing mp3.com has proven is that nobody buys such alternatives consistently.

    Dude,

    I buy alternative music all the time. It is also known as "Top 40".

    Love,
