The new services are called Instant Listening and Beam-it, and are part of My.MP3.com. They are, according to MP3.com, designed to allow users to listen to their CDs anywhere they have a Net connection. With Instant Listening, when a user buys a CD from an online retailer partnered with MP3.com, that user can choose to have the album immediately put into his or her MP3.com locker for immediate listening. With Beam-it, when a user puts a copy of a CD into his or her ROM drive, MP3.com will put that album into that user’s MP3.com locker. But, users are not actually copying their CDs into their MP3.com lockers. Instead, MP3.com is giving those users access to a digital music library of over 45,000 albums that MP3.com had previously created.
