AQUaDeX Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 "From the record-breaking broadcasts of the Live 8 concerts, to the launch of XM Satellite Radio on AOL Radio, to our newest efforts through the Network Live series of concerts - online consumers and music fans can tune in anytime, anywhere, to experience, discover, and enjoy the very best and latest in music." In a quiet move, AOL acquired the MusicNow service from Circuit City and renamed it AOL Music Now, current MusicNet on AOL subscribers can upgrade their subscriptions to the new AOL Music Now service and keep the current pricing ($8.95/month), where current Music Now subscribers will be migrated to the new service, keeping their $9.95 or $14.95 monthly service fee. AOL Music Now is the only subscription-based service in the market that doesn't require special software to be installed in order to use the basic streaming music service, besides Windows Media Player 10.

jadkins555 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 MusicNow is my favorite music service. AOL may not be great in people's minds, but don't let it put you off. This is an excellent service all around with artists and albums Napster / Rhapsody only wishes they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2005 Another great article on it: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle....&archived=False I have to admit, it's fun to watch this, though. I'm intruiged by P.R. and watching a company dig itself out of a P.R. nightmare is something I love to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUaDeX Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 586777612[/snapback] If only they start to do something about CompuServe, I hate when companies abandon their old-time supporters, CompuServe customers pay more for their service but they hardly get any new features AOL has been adding to their flagship service, their client hasn't been updated for like 5 years... (Plus the last one was a minor update to add Windows XP support...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2005 CompuServe? I didn;t even know they were still around lol. At this point, it may be better for them to simply consolidate under the AOL name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
