Starting 5-17-12 u wont be able to purchase mp3s

Well I actually purchase most of my music on my RAZR by going to my music and than to store from Verizon. Today when I went to purchase a song I received a message that stated that starting 5-17-12 I won't be able to purchase mp3s and it wanted me to accept terms. Anyone know what this is about. Am I going to be forced to buy from Google?

I don't purchase from them so I don't know but looking at their site I see nothing about this. My guess is there's a change in some terms and agreement you must agree to first, but that they will continue to sell them. Many sites have these changes as do software updates, like to use iTunes. But I don't see anything there to make me think they're going out of business, per se.

Maybe if you can supply some more information it would be helpful.

I don't know if you have given it a chance, but Amazon MP3 is a great app. I usually do my purchasing through iTunes or Amazon MP3 and the latter of the two tends to be a bit more reasonable, monetarily speaking.

Just to give anyone thats interested an update. On my razr maxx if i go to purchase music it takes me to vcast music and within that they have confirmed you can not purchase after 5 17. I wonder if they have something planned or will they use rhapsody.

Maybe Verizon is getting away from selling MP3's? I use Amazon to purchase my music.

I don't have a Droid Razr, I have an LG EnV3, but I've been experiencing the same problem whenever I go to the VCast/Rhapsody music site: The error message I get is, "On 5/17/12, songs can no longer be purchased." No notes about accepting terms or anything, the functionality's completely disabled: I click on 'What's New', 'Browse' or 'What's Hot', I get the same message, or "Sorry. No items to display".

I've tried twice calling Verizon, they are clueless and have no knowledge of any kind of global disabling of VCast: The last guy had me shut off my phone and take out the battery, he says to go to a support site and sync (which I haven't tried yet).

What does Google have to do with this? Should we be calling them? Because this seems to not be restricted to Motorola phones, it's LG's, too.

Grr.

Why buy music when you can listen to Pandora for free?

To make them into ringtones.
