That was what made Lala so brilliant:
1) No subscription requirement. I'm not convinced that the average consumer spends $120 a year on music and wants that expense every month of paying for a MOG, Spotify or Rdio.
2) Extremely low per-song price made "impulse" buys easy.
3) Matching your library to their catalog without uploading.
4) A really nice web interface. Extremely good for 2 years ago. Amazon's is so-so, and I haven't tried Google's yet (looks good from screenshots). I doubt Apple will do one at all.
- mynameisdom 15y agoVery well said. But don't forget the full-length free preview of any song. I loved that "once and only once" feature.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI forgot all about that, yes that was a killer feature as well. That turned out to be the killer feature for Google's music search as well, and made it infinitely less valuable when Lala went away.
