If you didn't know already, Apple bought them. Apple will probably integrate some of that technology into iTunes

I hate that Apple is doing that, I doubt they will integrate what LALA does into the supposed "itunes.com", I think they bought it to kill the company

Not iTunes.com, but they want to corner streaming to their iPhone/Pod/Pad market.

+1. i preferred grooveshark anyway.
there are no limitations to how many songs you can listen to or limitations of replaying the song.

itunes blows though.
grooveshark looks a little beta, but the unlimited replays is cool.
thx
