Yahoo music users going to RealNetworks - Boston.com

I guess it's time for me to do some comparison shopping; I've been reasonably happy with Yahoo! Music over the last ~3 years, but a comparable subscription-based Rhapsody license will be far more expensive. 

Yahoo Inc. will cease operating its online music subscription service and switch its customers to RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody music service as part of a new deal between the companies that calls for Yahoo to promote Rhapsody on its site.

    Terms of the deal, to be formally announced Monday, were not disclosed. The move is part of Yahoo's overhaul of its online music offerings.

    Yahoo's subscription rates range from $5.99 a month, if users pay for a full year in advance, or $8.99 a month. Rhapsody memberships start at $12.99 a month.
