MySpace Music Confirms Purchase of Imeem

Today, MySpace Music has completed a deal to acquire certain assets of imeem - a leading social media music service.

-----
MySpace Music and imeem share a common vision and commitment to further enabling the socialization of content across the Web. This deal will allow us to leverage imeem’s industry leading technology and over time, meaningfully integrate their products into the MySpace Music experience.

Since its inception in 2003, imeem has built a highly engaged music community of more than 16 million users worldwide. imeem helped pioneer the ad-supported digital music model and created the Web’s first embeddable music and video playlists enabling users to embed songs and playlists virtually anywhere on the Web, including MySpace.


In the coming weeks, our team will be working as quickly as possible to take aspects of imeem that users love and migrate them to MySpace Music. We’ll start that transition today by redirecting imeem users to MySpace Music to discover their favorite music. As quickly as possible, we’ll be working to offer users the imeem playlists they’ve created on MySpace Music.

We’re also happy to welcome imeem CEO Dalton Caldwell, CTO Bryan Berg, COO Ali Aydar and VP of Sales David Wade to the team as consultants to help manage this transition.

During this transition period, we invite all imeem users to check out MySpace Music’s extensive catalogue of fully licensed music and video content from major and indie artists, editorial coverage, concerts, and ticket information.
