Since launching the Ubuntu One music store on the web [1] there has been
a steady flow of traffic to the web store and away from the store
embedded in Rhythmbox on Ubuntu. The music store in Rhythmbox is
operated separately from the one on the web, which means it requires a
fair amount of additional work to keep it running smoothly. In order to
make the music store better for everyone, regardless of what device they
may be using at any given moment, we’re focusing on the web music store
and removing the store from Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 13.04 as well as from
previous releases, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10 via a stable release
update [2]. With this change, all Ubuntu One music purchases will be
made at https://one.ubuntu.com/music-store instead of in Rhythmbox. Your
purchases will still automatically be delivered to your cloud storage,
download to your computer and be available in Rhythmbox. Of course, if
you have a music streaming subscription, you can also stream all your
music from the web, Android, or iOS.
