All current Yahoo subscribers will be transitioned over to a Rhapsody account within a few months. Once moved over the users will be able to enjoy their music service on more devices that were not available as Yahoo customers to include the Squeezebox and also TiVo set top boxes.
In addition to switching over to Real, Yahoo also announced they have acquired FoxyTunes. According to Yahoo, this will allow them to offer a “more open” music playback experience. FoxyTunes currently offers a browser plugin that has controls for offline and web-based media players.
