DIGITALLY IMPORTED EXPANDS BRAND INTO ONLINE MAGAZINE: Digitally Imported — which runs the most-listened-to Internet-only webcaster on the Webcast Metrics panel (details in yesterday’s RAIN here) — has announced the launch of the online DI Magazine. DI founder Ari Shohat writes the magazine is designed to be “a new way to share and explore electronic music, news, issues, opinions, and the culture that surrounds it all.” DI Magazine also features a Contributed Content section where readers can submit their news and reviews. Ari intro’s the magazine here.

MYSPACE INTERACTIVE MUSIC SERVICE LAUNCHES: MySpace launched its long-awaited music service at midnight Wednesday, featuring on-demand streaming, unlimited playlist creation and links to Amazon’s MP3 store. “Other online services,” write Dawn Chmielewski and Michelle Quinn in the Los Angeles Times, “such as the start-up Imeem and Last.fm, which is owned by CBS, offer free streaming and ways for friends to share their virtual mix tapes. These smaller rivals say they’re not worried about the competitive threat from MySpace, noting that they had a head start.” MySpace is counting on advertising for revenue, at least initially.

NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHES GUIDE TO WIRELESS MUSIC PLAYERS: The New York Times has published a quick run-through of wireless music players, highlighting devices such as the Squeezebox Boom and Apple’s AirPort Express. Every system listed is under $500, and some don’t even require an established network. Find the article here.

STREAMSURF AND SEEQPOD PARTNER: streamSerf.com, which audits worldwide radio airplay of music, will provide detailed airplay reports to music discovery tech company (and “playable search results” search engine) SeeqPod. A press release says, “streamSerf.com’s data warehouse of over 85 million pages of radio airplay reports will be available to end users through web-based links on every track that SeeqPod discovers, providing additional discovery and information capabilities to SeeqPod’s powerful search engine.” Read the entire press release here.
