Yahoo Music Shutting Down - Switching Users to Rhapsody

Yahoo Music is closing its website and switching its users to Rhapsody. The change is expected to occur sometime in the first half of this year. Yahoo music customers will keep the same rates for a limited time, but will eventually need to switch over to Rhapsody's rates. Apparently, Rhapsody will be integrated into Yahoo's music portal. More specific details are forthcoming.
