CD-swapping website Lala.com is taking a bite out of Apple's turf, hosting the iTunes music library for iPod owners and promising to soon sell songs directly for the devices.

Lala's new service lets people store their iTunes library on the Palo Alto, California company's website, allowing users to listen to their song collection from any computer via the Internet.

Lala also launched an online version of free radio that streams music to listeners on-demand.

The CD-swapping website said the moves made Tuesday are the first steps in a grand plan to break down barriers between people and digitized music and re-unite artists with alienated fans.

 

I dont know about you… but this SOUNDS too good to be true. They will host my ENTIRE itunes library? i have over 80 GB of music…. and they say they will host it all…for free…. im going to try it out when i get home tonight, but im skeptical to say the least.

Its a good idea, but let's see how long it lasts..
