Next.Lala.com - Your New Music Library

There are many music services on the web, which means newcomer LaLa will have a time rising above its peers. The new music social experience has put together a set of features however, that may make it stand out. Lala combines a social network, a music store, and an online music library. Users are able to listen to full length songs, not mere clips, and buy them for a dime. Each song bought is housed in your Lala music collection; right now, the first fifty songs you download are absolutely free. For those who’ve already got their music stored on iTunes or another music service, they can make use of Lala’s MusicMover app, which works on Macs and PCs; the app will move any playlists you have to your Lala account too. DRM-free songs are available as well.

“Lala.com is a venture funded group of software engineers with the single mission of making the Web a better experience for music. More details to come when we complete our beta.”

Lala does look promising. It gives users a single interface to manage and collect music from any computer. The MusicMover tool seems to work at a fairly quick speed which means users won’t have long lag times. Overall, although, simple yet, it could prove successful.

How much music can you store on your Lala account? Will the MusicMover be available for Linux? How diverse is Lala’s own music database?
