MP3.com Archive Not Lost (1.7 Million Songs Saved)

Posted by timothy on Monday April 19, 2004 @03:46PM from the greatly-exaggerated dept.

macdaddypunk writes "We all remember last December's grim news: MP3.com closed its doors, warning thousands of musicians that 'all your content will be deleted from our servers.' However, as the Wall Street Journal reports today, most of the original MP3.com archive was never deleted! Two companies, GarageBand and Trusonic, claiming to have a legitimate copy of the archive, are now enabling former MP3.com artists to visit www.MP3isBack.com and recover their MP3.com music, instantly re-generating their artist pages with just a few clicks. Trusonic, itself a Vivendi spin-out, focuses on licensing music to retailers for in-store airplay. GarageBand, like a HOTorNOT for music, offers free mp3 downloads and claims to host the definitive charts of independent music."

Down. If you had said "I'm as shocked as you are. I'll probably get modded down, but I'm wondering what it'll get modded to" would have given you + points.
