CNET Plans To Relaunch MP3.com As A New Indie Music Download Site
from the starting-from-scratch dept
While we were a bit surprised to see CNET buy the MP3.com domain name, we were wondering what they planned to do with it. Even people within CNET seemed a bit surprised about the deal. Now the plans are becoming clearer. Basically, CNET plans to offer something that’s halfway between the current MP3.com and their own Download.com which offers a place where software makers can offer up their software for downloads. So, while they say they aren’t able to take the old MP3.com database over, any musician should (in theory) be able to sign up again with the “new” MP3.com and re-upload their tunes.
