You may have heard yesterday, but I felt it was worth a posting anyhow. This just puts yet another online music provider into the ol' pot. Can there be too much of a good thing? Someone's going to have to diversify the product/service enough to distinguish themselves here shortly....

"Jumping into music downloads signifies a switch from Yahoo's past music strategy, which has focused on streaming audio and video through Launch, a subsidiary that Yahoo bought for $12 million in 2001. Yahoo also distributes the Napster music service, which lets customers buy music downloads and sign up for subscriptions."
