A few weeks ago, I reviewed the new Lala Music Service. At the time, my first impressions were that it was an interesting concept that was done well enough to continue with a more thorough test drive. As I’ve continued to use it, I’ve formed a few more opinions about it, which I will be only too thrilled to talk about now.
What Were Those Features, Again?
To quickly recap the standout features of Lala:
- A free online “music locker” with an iTunes-like interface to store your entire your music library online, giving you unlimited access to your library anywhere there’s an internet connection.
- If you want to add to your library, there are 6 million music tracks are available, any of which you can listen to once for free before buying it.
- Buy “web songs” for 10 cents each, which basically means buying the rights to listen to a track online unlimited times. Or, download DRM free MP3 files for 79 to 99 cents each.
- Social networking features to allow you to follow other users, and vice versa, letting you see their playlists, music they’ve listened to recently, etc.
