I will miss you MP3.com
Ohh how this makes me sick... I guess I should have seen it coming but none the less it hurts to loose a friend of many years. MP3.com will be shut down as it was just bought by CNET.

Sad I am as I have downloaded so so many different kinds of beautiful music from their site. I have found artists I would have never found from any other source.
This democracy is now soon to be gone.
Did any of you use MP3.com?
Your thoughts?

News of the deal first surfaced in an e-mail sent by MP3.com to its customers and posted to its site late Thursday. In the e-mail, MP3.com informed users that its Web site would no longer be accessible in its current form and that CNET Networks plans to reintroduce the music site with new features and services. MP3.com said that after the site?s removal, all of the online content on its servers will be deleted and promised that previously submitted musical works in its possession will be destroyed.
WHAT MP3.COM COULD HAVE BEEN
MP3.com was once the standard-bearer for digital visionaries looking to the Internet to undermine the power of the traditional music business. By offering free online storage space and access to any band, signed or not, the company and founder Michael Robertson hoped to create a new distribution mechanism that would expand how people got music and what kind of music they listened to.
