Everything about Msn Music totally explained
MSN Music is a part of the MSN web services. It delivers music news, music videos, spotlights on new music, artist information, and live performances of artists. In
2004, Microsoft created an MSN Music download store to compete with
Apple's
iTunes Music Store, though its sales in comparison were negligible. The store utilized Microsoft's Windows Media Player application and proprietary Windows Media Format files (protected
.wma files).
It started out with 1.5 million songs, but decreased to 1.1 million songs due mainly to lagging sales and lack of real support from Microsoft.
The MSN Music store wasn't compatible with Microsoft's own
Zune music player. As of 14 November, 2006, MSN Music ceased music sales and now redirects viewers to either Zune or Real Rhapsody websites.
Microsoft acquired
MongoMusic on
September 13,
2000 and merged its technology.
In
April 2008, Microsoft announced that the
DRM servers for MSN Music will be deactivated on
2008-08-31. After this date it'll no longer be possible to reauthorise purchased songs when changing computers or operating systems.
They have suggested that customers back up their music by burning it to CD.
