Yahoo Music Comes to Japan
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 02:00 PM
"Fresh off launching the final version of Yahoo! Music Unlimited in the United States last week, Yahoo on Monday announced it was opening its music service for consumers in Japan. Yahoo will make available 100,000 tracks and allow customers to listen to full songs before buying - the first music store to offer such capability."
Japan is open season for music download services like iTunes and Yahoo. It should be interesting to see if Apple will carve out a dominant swath in this infant space (as it did here in the US) or if Yahoo or some other competing service will grab the top spot. Yahoo should stand a good chance.
