Yahoo Acquires FoxyTunes and Partners With Rhapsody For Music Service

Yahoo have been in the news a lot lately, with Microsoft trying to buy out the company, while at the same time they have been making smaller headlines of their own. Today Yahoo made two announcements, they are going to stop their current music service and partner with Rhapsody to provide a new service, and they have also purchased FoxyTunes, a developer of a tool-bar plug-in that enables users to control more than 30 desktop and Web-based music players.

This makes an acquisition by Microsoft all the more interesting since Rhapsody and the Zune Marketplace would become a sibling rivalry. With relevance to FoxyTunes none of the details have been released, but we will let you know more when the information becomes available.
