Rhapsody and MTV Networks today launched a new Rhapsody music store as part of thier "Music Without Limits" initiative.
Their strategy is designed to change digital music industry in three ways:
Accelerating the move away from DRM by making music from all major labels available in the DRM-free and interoperable MP3 format.
Allowing music fans to conveniently stream full-length songs, and buy MP3s, anywhere they want including popular music sites and social networks on the Web
Integrating digital music directly with mobile phones through a deep partnership between Rhapsody and Verizon Wireless.
"Until now, legal digital music has suffered from severe limitations on where consumers could buy it and how they could use it," said Rob Glaser, chairman and CEO of RealNetworks.
