Say Goodbye to BuyMusic.com

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the can't-say-i-ever-said-hello dept.

dark_lotus writes "Spymac.com today is reporting that an e-mail sent to prior customers of BuyMusic.com, informing them that BuyMusic.com is being merged into the parent site, Buy.com. Spymac reports: BuyMusic.com initially expected to sell one million songs per day or 200 to 300 in the first year according to estimates by founder and CEO Scott Blum. When re-interviewed in December, Blum offered no statistics, but did say, 'We're nowhere near Apple's numbers.'"

    I assume it involves some sort of forest engineering?

    (I'm really serious, I'd like to know)
