Well, actually the services *Instant Listening* and *Beam It* at My.Mp3.com had nothing to do with the mp3 hosting service once found at mp3.com. My.Mp3.com was rather focusing on the listening consumer. Funny that you got paid for $7 for music offered for free. I know some folks here in Sweden that go a lot of money from their music on mp3.com.
