"Looks like mp3.com is no more, at least not in its current form. According to an announcement on an mp3.com message board, CNet has acquired assets of mp3.com. The statement is very vague, but it says that following the redirection of the mp3.com domain on December 2nd, "all content will be deleted from [mp3.com's] servers." However they do plan to eventually introduce "new and enhanced artist services"."

it is always a pain in the ass.

yeah like having to wait 2 weeks for them to approve a song.... it should be posted realtime, no wait, especially art changes. that approval shit is a horrible idea.

GAY.
