Rhapsody is dropping music recommendation provider Echonest just weeks after it was acquired by rival Spotify. In a statement, Rhapsody's senior vice president of the Americas, Paul Springer, said Echonest had been a good partner, "but we have never been completely satisfied with recommendations from any third party." Springer says the company plans to "invest heavily" in its own personalization technologies from Rhapsody and Napster, and that users won't notice any difference in their service.
