mp3.com wasn't founded in 1998. At the very minimum it was 1997, but I'm almost 100% certain that it was 1996 that they started. For references, check the wayback machine on archive.org

Current status

Where is info about mp3.com today?

Perhaps this should titled mp3.com (former)

Or "Classic" or "Original"? Seriously, do the new version and the old version of MP3.com need an articles of their own? Or would it make more sense to have one article with a section for the original service and a section for the current one? -- Logotu 15:20, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have an idea what CNET or Vivendi did with the huge collection of songs on their servers? It'd be interesting to find out what the legal status of these is. ralian 07:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes. The licensing for the music did not include the ability for MP3.com to sell it to a 3rd party. Therefore it was all lost. Some artists opted into the Trusonic system, so when that small business unit was sold that music was saved. There is an entry in the wiki page about Trusonic partnering with Garageband to allow artists to retrieve the music they may have misplaced. Trusonic continues to play (and pay) these artists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsaavik (talk • contribs) 17:30, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
