We can beat iTunes this time! Honest!

It seems like every other day there's some new music download service crawling out of the woodwork. Today it's from a few big names in the music and data world; MTV, Real Networks and Verizon Wireless.
These media heavyweights are joining forces in an attempt to become the biggest name in the integrated music services arena, looking to take on Apple's iTunes platform. MTV and Real will be creating a spin-off company for this effort called Rhapsody America, run by the man behind the Urge platform.
The announcement is interesting because each of the three represent key aspects of a successful online media platform; content (MTV), software (Real) and distribution channels (Verizon).
No word yet on price or availability.
