A useful piece of information would be the cost. I can't find it anywhere on that site. Do they expect me to sign up for a free trial without knowing the cost?
Wait so in 2007 they bought groove the "slack of its time" (which sucked ass, IMO) then they killed it fairly quickly ($50k down the tubes) and now they've killed Zune to use the name Groove for music instead of a dev tool.<p>If there is one big difference between apple and Microsoft, whomever is naming products at Microsoft is terrible at their job. (Yes I agree that groove is a better name for a music service than Zune, but still - there just doesn't subjectively feel like their product names all live within the umbrella of a single company)<p>As much as we made fun of apple when we expected the iWatch - all the other products with the prefix-i at least we knew what it was they were peddling.<p>AFAIK, I'm not too familiar if Apple has made these errors in the past? Have they also recycled names for products completely different in nature?
At a cursory glance the music library they have is anemic, and they don't try to differentiate themselves from other offerings, so it just looks very mediocre.
