Starting on November 14th, customers will no longer be able to purchase and download songs and albums from MSN Music. Instead, they will be redirected to the Zune Marketplace and Real Rhapsody’s site when they click on a ‘Buy’ button. The MSN Music site will undergo a transformation and will, in the future, host live concerts and will feature interviews and other music-related content. The MSN Radio service will be offered for free as well.
MSN Music was launched 2 years ago but it never managed to compete with Apple’s iTunes.
