Yikes! Has everyone heard about this? I just got an e-mail or two that tipped me off to it -- and after investigating a little I found out it's actually true. This comes as a major shock to me. I'd enjoyed a good deal of success with their service (6007 downloads). I have to say i am really sorry to see them go. This from MP3.com's own site-news page: >CNET Networks, Inc. announced today that it has acquired >certain assets of MP3.com, Inc. >Please be advised that on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 at >12:00 PM PST the MP3.com website will no longer be >accessible in its current form. > >Following a transition period, CNET Networks, Inc. plans to >introduce new and enhanced artist services.
