Special Report: Tech MaxBEIJING, April. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Yahoo users will now be able to gain access to content and buy songs from other range of providers following the internet giant's partnership with other digital music retailers.
Beginning today, consumers can watch music videos stored on YouTube, listen to Internet radio streamed from Pandora or buy songs from iTunes through the new version of Yahoo Music unveiled Monday.
Users will be able to customize how they view the artist pages, moving preferred services or content higher on the page and removing ones they don't use at all.
Yahoo has struck commercial relationships with digital music retailers like Apple Inc's AAPL.O iTunes and Amazon.com Inc, collecting a fee for every referral, the company said.
"We really want to focus on providing the service that's most valuable to users, and then partner with third parties to provide the entire set of music services," said Yahoo Music General Manager Michael Spiegelman, who described the new Yahoo Music as a major strategic shift for Yahoo.
