Yahoo! has announced that they will be leaving the music subscription service, handing over its Yahoo! Music Unlimited service to Rhapsody.
Over the next few months Yahoo! will be migrating their customers to Rhapsody while allowing them to access their music libraries from a new Rhapsody account.
If you are familiar with the two services, you may know that they are priced differently. Yahoo’s music service costs between $5.99 to $8.99 per month while Rhapsody charges $12.99.
Yahoo! Music Unlimited subscribers will keep their current pricing until their contract expires, at which time they will be automatically charged the higher Rhapsody rate.
Yahoo! and Rhapsody are reportedly looking into working together on other projects, including music downloads.
This arrangement could run into a snag with Microsoft’s buyout proposal. If Yahoo! does accept the offer, the deal with Rhapsody may not happen.
