Rhapsody In Bluetooth

Rhapsody is the newest MP3 convert. It seems MTV and Real Networks, who own the subscription service, have seen the light, and now all 5 million of their music tracks are available as DRM-free MP3s. The Lunatics wonder how much longer before the record industry adopts the MP3 format as the de facto standard?

The Lunatics were right on when they predicted the growth of online stores selling MP3s. Seems now the telecoms like Verizon want a piece of the action, and they have partnered up with Rhapsody. Is this the new reality, all the music that you can purchase, is available over your cell phone? What a cool brave new world.

Lunatics_Thanks

Thanks to Musicouch.com for including MP34U in “Extreme Music: Top 15 Free Music Websites That You Will Want to Visit.”

Boy, the Lunatics think, they hit the nail right on the head when Nelson Doyle said: “This website offers every music genre under-the-sun, and then some.”

It’s always gratifying to be recognized. What an nice, unexpected compliment.
