Ubuntu One Music store ready to land in Lucid?

Filed under: Audio, Linux, Web services, Canonical

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx is expected to land on April 29th - and could land with a big bang. As we have reported in November Canonical, sponsor and developer of Ubuntu, is working hard on an iTunes-like music store. Rumors are saying that the music store will be a part of the Ubuntu single sign on service - providing a single, central login service for all Ubuntu-related sites and applications, thus making it more convenient for Ubuntu users and community members to access information, communicate, and contribute.

Lucid Lynx comes with a newly designed Software Center where you will be able to purchase music from the same application that allows you to browse, search and install applications. Most likely this will be a partnership with Amazon's digital music download service (seeing as how Amazon already has a version of its MP3 download tool for Linux). The music service will work in conjunction with either Rhythmbox or Banshee.

A music store build into an operating system without the need of adding extra software plus the already available and coming features to Ubuntu one (back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users) - how simple and easy is that? And soon enough commercial software will join the mix inside of the Ubuntu Software Center. This will rock!
