What is Lala?

Lala.com is an online music store and compact disc trading website created by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Bill Nguyen. The service allows trade-enabled members to legally create online shareable “playlists” (formerly known as “radio stations”) of their own uploaded music which can play full length songs for other registered Lala members, purchase MP3s, stream music on a one-time basis or as inexpensively purchased “web songs.”  New members can upload their own music, create playlists, purchase MP3s and web songs, buy new CDs at the Lala store, leave blurbs, and can change their personal account settings to activate trading privileges and also be able to trade CDs and use the community forums. Apple, Inc. acquired Lala on December 4, 2009. (via Wikipedia)
