Comments on: Yahoo Music stops selling and starts pointing

Company wants to direct users to music available on multiple Web sites, but with many of these sites already offering a full range of services, will anyone need Yahoo?

I think this is a great move. The problem today is that no single service carries ALL the music available - each one has some participation from different distributors. If Yahoo can provide a single place to search from for ALL these services, then the user can "shop" for the music they want, and be told where it can be purchased. That's something sorely missing in today's music landscape. Right now, a person has to go from site to site manually, in order to find out who (if anyone) is selling a particular album/song.

Great idea! If someone with the proven capabilities required to develop and promote such a site wants a great url, I can make available:

ezTunes.com / EasyTunes.com
ezOldies.com / EasyOldies.com
TheBestOldies.com.

Interesting choice. However, I'm interested to see how this service will compete against sites like Hype Machine (hypem.com) or Elbows (elbo.ws). Their fan base - especially Hype Machine - are very loyal, yet they haven't broken into the mainstream yet. It's a good opportunity for Yahoo to come into that market. After all, they do have the name recognition.
