Key Dates
In 2001, Yahoo! purchased LAUNCH Media, makers of the LAUNCHcast Internet radio service. On September 14, 2004, Yahoo! purchased Musicmatch, Inc., makers of the Musicmatch Jukebox software. As of Musicmatch 10.1, Yahoo! has rebranded Musicmatch Jukebox as Yahoo! Music Musicmatch Jukebox, and integrated it with the Yahoo! Music Engine store. The main difference is the branding and physical program. In 2005, Yahoo! Music became the first major online music service to provide a $5 per month unlimited download service similar to the Open Music Model, albeit with digital rights management, called Yahoo! Music Unlimited. In 2008, Yahoo! announced that Yahoo! Music Unlimited will be merged into Rhapsody. This merge was completed with the shutdown of Yahoo! Music Unlimited on September 30, 2008.
In 2011, Yahoo Music became the main CBS Radio player, with AOL Radio switching to Slacker Radio.
