Yahoo and Rhapsody form new partnership

Yahoo is abandoning their own Music Unlimited program and has formed a partnership with Rhapsody. All current subscribers will be converted over. I think they will find Rhapsody to be a much better service, they will however pay for the privilege as Yahoo averages $9.00 per month, while the basic service at Rhapsody runs $12.99.

Update: Here is a nice insider’s view from Yahoo Music’s General manager Ian C. Rodgers.
