Yahoo! and Rhapsody America announced a broad strategic relationship in digital music. Rhapsody will be the exclusive on-demand music service for Yahoo!, replacing Yahoo! Music Unlimited. Yahoo! and Rhapsody also intend to collaborate on other digital music services such as music downloads. The partnership introduces Rhapsody’s subscription music service to the largest online music audience through Yahoo! Music and reinforces Yahoo!’s focus on providing users with a destination to easily access the best music services and content from across the web.
In the coming months, Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscribers will be migrated to Rhapsody’s digital music service through a simple process that will convert Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscribers’ music libraries to Rhapsody. Current Yahoo! Music subscribers will have the opportunity to maintain their existing pricing tiers for a limited time period after migration to the Rhapsody service. Additional details will be communicated to Yahoo! Music subscribers closer to the date when account migration begins.
