If so… what a shame – especially since it looks like they’re about to approve the one from Rhapsody.

I don’t see why this is any different.

just discovered lala and i’m sticking with it.

I just wanted to say it’s very nice to see its CEO posting such a lucid comment. mp3tunes is quite amazing. But I’d like better to use cloud technology so I could “upload” all my songs, 99% of which are not unique anyway.

Plus I could just now test a 3rd part site using its API to work with iphone, which worked fine. All info is on the forums.

Great stuff, mister MR!

Everyone should seriously stop talking about something they know nothing about. Lala is different than everything out right now. If you had to compare it to something, it would be a combination of simplify + the entire iTunes store (except every song is .10 rather than .99). The only stipulation is that you have to have a connection to the internet to use it.

I’ve tried just about everything out there. Currently I switch back and forth between Lala and Pandora. I like Pandora, but it doesn’t allow you to listen to the songs you choose. I primarily use Pandora to listen to music that I would never purchase such as Ambient or Classical music (for studying). I go to Lala if there is an album I’m interested in listening to all the way through. I can listen to the entire album for free the first time. If I want to listen to the album again I pay on average .80 for the entire album unlimited plays. If I only want to purchase a few of the songs on the album I pay .10 per song.

There is simply no other service offering this right now. Some are saying that their model is broken and they won’t survive at those fees. They have an algorithm that proves their profitability, otherwise they wouldn’t have the VC support they do. No company garners 35M without a solid business model.

Everyone is concerned about not being able to play their songs when they aren’t on the internet, but nowadays that’s not likely to be very long. Most of us have an internet connection at home, work, and school.

Lala also does everything that Simplfy does for free. If you only want to use Lala to listen to your own music collection, you can do that for free. However, until the Lala iphone app is available, you will want to stick with Simplify. But Simplify is only better than Lala if you can get all of your friends to connect to it as well and share music. Then you can multiply its value.

If Lala ever adds recommended songs like Pandora, I wouldn’t ever leave their site. The interface is better. The ability to select a song and actually hear that song is something Pandora can’t do.

I would just recommend that you try it out. It’s free. You won’t pay a dime until you’ve used up your first 50 credits. And you won’t use those up until you listen to songs that aren’t in your personal library.
