lala shut down by apple

in the beginning of december last year, apple bought out lala, a huge online music service, for $85 million and now they have announced they are shutting the site down effective may 31st and will not be accepting new users. speculation is that apple will use lala’s model to make itunes web-based, accessible without itunes software, ipods, and icrap. lala says they will credit their users the money they spent on web songs for purchases on the itunes store… the apple takeover is happening ya’ll. pledge your allegiances now.
