Imeem.com, one of my favorite destinations to stream music, is no longer an entity.  It has been purchased by social network giant MySpace.  According to CNET News, MySpace “will be “working as quickly as possible” to migrate “aspects of” Imeem to MySpace Music.”  Phase one is complete; www.imeem.com already directs you to MySpace Music and the Imeem app for iPhone will become inoperable once MySpace sends out an update.

With Apple acquiring LaLa and MySpace buying Imeem, it seems like there’s starting to be a major crackdown on all free music streaming portals.  Hold on for dear life, Pandora; I don’t know what I’d do without you.
