The re-launched version of MP3.com is taking shape with a beta site at music.download.com. CNET is calling the new product “Download.com Music.” For now, its only function is for artists to register and submit their music to be considered for inclusion on the site. It looks like it will be a free resource ala CNET’s download.com for software.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out when the public version is launched. In my eyes, a free, reliable, high-exposure online venue for independent and unsigned bands is a good thing.
There’s an active message board right around here.
