Never one to overlook a trend, MTV is hushingly building out a digital music store, in partnership with MusicNet. The store is rumored to launch sometime later in 2004. Of course, MTV launched a downloadable music store once before.. a project so unsuccessful even I cannot remember the name…. no, now I remember, Rioport.com was the partner. Kudos to the MTV online executives for launching a project so unfortunate that no one in the press remembers it anymore.
1. Notice how MusicNet is veering increasingly toward being a B2B provider of music-download technology, after its heinous failure as a consumer service company.
