MSN Music going silent for Zune

Make room for the Zune digital music player, MSN.
In a note on its MSN Web site, Microsoft's MSN Music division said that, as of Nov. 14, it will redirect users to either its Zune site or RealNetworks' Rhapsody music service.
"The 'buy' buttons that you are used to seeing on the MSN Music album and artist pages will change to links that connect you to Zune and Real Rhapsody," Microsoft said on the site.
After, all, why compete with yourself in the online music category -- especially with iTunes already dominating the market? So look for that day to help launch the Zune player. Accompanying the digital music player will be the Zune Marketplace, where songs can be purchased either by a $14.99 subscription or through Microsoft Points.
