Fleischers' old home Hits Magazine has an interesting rumor on their site.
"MP3 NEEDS TO JIBE WITH JIVE: The MP3.com
deal with BMG, negotiated last week, does not
include Britney Spears, NSYNC, the Backstreet
Boys or any other Jive act, which means the Music
Service Provider will have to negotiate a separate
agreement with the label.".
They also have more info on the other rumor although it has been said that MP3.com is not for sale.
I am also working on plans to be in San Fransisco part of next week. USENIX 2000 and the MP3 Summit are both in San Diego then, so it will be a busy but productive week. :)
