I got this in the email from them..

CNET Networks, Inc announced today that it has acquired
certain assets of MP3.com, Inc.

Please be advised that on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 at 12:00

Your personal information, music, images, related content or
other information will not be transferred to CNET Networks,
Inc. or any other third party.

MP3.com's content administration tools will remain available
until the site is redirected on December 2, 2003. Please
note, however, that promptly following the removal of the
MP3.com website, all content will be deleted from our

Hmm, looks like some old long tracks I ULed as they're too
long for Zebox will only be up for a few days at the most...
I'd better check often and post when it's up.

does ANYONE use mp3.com anymore? i have 2 pages there but
stopped using them because they took like a month to approve
the songs and they put up that 3 song limit. in conclusion,
i don't like mp3.com.

oh, i guess i also maybe could say that if you're on dial up
and you want to keep your songs you have at mp3.com online
still without having to re-upload them, soundclick lets you
rip your mp3s directly off mp3.com and on to a soundclick
account.
