A little over a year ago, we introduced private libraries so that you
could play the songs you already own. In our constant efforts to
improve JamLegend, we thought, "What could be better than playing your
own songs?" Well, how about not having to upload your MP3s to
JamLegend just to download them again when it comes time to play! And
so, this past August we introduced the JamBox: play the songs you own,
without them ever leaving your computer. After launching the JamBox, we noticed that we had a lot of private
library songs stored on JamLegend that users weren't playing anymore.
This hurts the community, because it costs us to store things that
nobody uses. We want to spend our resources focusing on things that
our users enjoy and use frequently, not storing old songs nobody wants
anymore! So, we decided to remove the library... Oh, what a mistake that was! In doing so, we neglected a very
important group of users: our VIPs. They still used the library, had
paid for the library, and very much cared about their songs so
meticulously uploaded to JamLegend for posterity (and access from
anywhere). Fortunately, we had not removed any data yet. So, we are happy to announce that the private library has returned, as
a VIP-only feature. For most of us, the JamBox is all we need: fast,
easy access to the songs we love. But for some of us, being able to
have access to our favorite songs anywhere, anytime, is important too.
And so, for those users, there is the private library as part of our
VIP membership. This is a good move for JamLegend. It allows us to focus our
resources on our active users, without waste from storing unused
inventory. Finally, as a thank-you to our VIPs, who so graciously put up with us
when we make mistakes, we've extended all VIP memberships by an
additional week. So, for those days without the library, enjoy a free
week of VIP on us!
