Yahoo Doesn't Respect Customers - Raises Online Music Prices

Yahoo recently announced that they will double the price of their online music service Yahoo Music Engine from $6.99 to $11.99 depending on the plan you choose. This is really lame in my book. I reviewed their Music Engine service a while back but didn’t think it was that great. But for the 5 bucks a month (at that time) I was considering it. I’m glad I decided to stick with Napster. Can you imagine signing up for your cell phone service and a year later they decide to double their rates? Yahoo just doesn’t get it’s customers – let alone smart ones. I bet they didn’t get a lot of people to sign up anyways because everyone was speculating that they were going to raise their prices. I think Yahoo is seriously struggling to find itself in this new Web 2.0 world. So it’s time to give Yahoo the old eighty six and go with a solid music service like Napster or iTunes – at least they pretend to like their customers.
