Staff Writer, CNET News

Music download site GoodNoise said it will acquire the Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA), a veteran music site that lets unsigned bands promote and sell their music online. IUMA, online since 1993, hosts more than 3,500 band sites, GoodNoise said. Following the all-stock deal, expected to close in June, IUMA will be a wholly owned subsidiary of GoodNoise, which soon will change its name to Emusic.com, the company said.
