Following in the footsteps of Napster — a fellow former peer-to-peer music community that has now transformed itself into a paid music subscription service — Kazaa has converted into a “cloud-based streaming service with access to 1.6 million songs and 1 million song lyrics,” according to the press release. They will offer a free seven-day trial and then start charging users $15 a month.
Kazaa’s CTO, Emanuel Krassenstein, said in the release, “While there is no shortage of smart devices in the market until Kazaa’s launch no one was offering music consumers the opportunity to fully integrate their music into their lives and social networks.”
Pricier and with less songs than the competition. SOUNDS GREAT.
