To Lala music:

Nobody told me about giving my credit card information at the beginning… I read: sign up for free music listening and nothing about the misserable 30 seconds of stream either if I signed up.. so if I knew about giving delicate and personal information just to listen to music, I wouldn’t sign in. I will give feedback about this site to the competence, because of site like this, is why we go to Youtube and convert the songs. I got really angry and It was very disapointing to fall in your game, just like every scam site, easy first and then the hard and ugly bad experience… wow…

So far I love to listen to the full track but when i looked up reviews CNET came up and all of the good reviews are from FEB/APR 2007 and 2009 only has terrible reviews for customer service, bad downloads and such. Any comments on customer service? Quality of downloads?

Thanks

Didn’t you mean, “Microsoft is to Google as iTunes is to Lala”?

@Sam & @David

Apple just bought Lala, and they are not in danger of going bankrupt as far as I know.

Besides, any company you buy music from has the possibility of going bankrupt.

David –

Funny how no one answers your question: What if Lala.com goes out of business?

A couple of google searches revealed no clear answer for me, either. I was wondering the same thing.

I’m guessing you would just lose everything you paid 10 cents for, but the mp3s of course you would keep as long as you have them saved. It’s the only logical answer I could see.

I’m still sitting on the sidelines with my money. They could get me if they had some clause that said: “If lala.com goes out of business, we promise you will be able to download all of your 10 cent songs.” I’m sure they can’t make that work with the labels, but it would be nice!

If anyone knows for sure please post!

Thanks for post this review. I’m trying to advocate to everyone I know how awsome and affordable Lala is, especially if you use your computer as your stereo and you have a consistent WiFi connection. Lala has saved me a couple of hundred dollars because now I can purchase music at a really affordable rate–music that I would have never purchased otherwise. Paying like a $1.20 for web access to an entire CD is simply a no brainer when it comes to saving money. I think the more people that use Lala, the better it will become, and we can be assured that the company will be around for a long time.
