AOL Music Now Relaunches Music Service

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lifetime-of-sins-to-make-up-for dept.

Planetrudy writes "Reuters reports that AOL has launched a new version of its Music Now subscription service. It's web-based, slick, performs well (fast page loads and downloads), and contains over 2.5M songs and 'thousands of videos.' This launch seems to be in line with AOL's 'tearing down the wall around the garden' strategy."

    Most free trials of subscription services are like that. They tend to work on the basis that if you don't like the service, you'll cancel before the trial runs out. Same with magazine subscription offers.

    Sorry, no sale. Three reasons:

    1) It's still pay-to-play (you stop paying, songs stop playing)
    2) Won't play on 78% of the players in circulation (i.e. iPods)
    3) It's AOL, for God's sake
