CarlSeibert Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Too good to last, maybe. Or maybe it just becomes another product. Apple To Shut Down Lala On May 31, iTunes.com Launch Impending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I used to love Lala when it was just a CD trading site. They were great and also had a good CD store that had very competitive prices. When they moved to this music web-based listen nonsense I stopped using them. I guess I am just old-school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschell Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I still have (and wear) my free lala "Monday" shirt. I never understood the attraction to the pay per play system they adopted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSeibert Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I actually loved the streaming service - never used the CD trading version. I liked that I could listen all the way through a song once for free. Then, if I had some interest in an album, I could "bookmark" it for a dime. I thought that was cool. Sadly, none of that looks to be in the future. It's just the access-your-collection-in-the-cloud part, which I rarely used. Why bother? Most of my collection, or at least more than Lala recognized, is on my portable at much better quality. At a dime a song you could also do wacky things like making a play list from the 211 recorded versions of "Knocking on Heaven's Door".
