MusicMatch on Monday sent out an e-mail to customers warning them that if they install iTunes for Windows they will no longer be able to use the MusicMatch Jukebox software with their iPod. “As a valued Musicmatch customer and iPod user, we want to alert you to a serious software conflict caused by iTunes for Windows,” the company said in the e-mail. “Apple iTunes for Windows prevents Musicmatch Jukebox from working with the iPod by deleting critical files used by Musicmatch.

As expected, MusicMatch on Monday launched a new digital music download service. “Offering a library of more than 200,000 songs at 99 cents each, the MusicMatch service will allow computer users to buy and download music with few restrictions, a model pioneered by Apple Computer Inc.’s iTunes Music Store in May,” reports Reuters.

MusicMatch announced today that the company would no longer support Mac versions of its software, reports c|net. The company said that starting next week, it would discontinue Mac support for its Jukebox MP3 software and its subscription-based Radio MX service, in order to focus on further Windows development of the software. “It no longer made sense to double our development efforts,” said MusicMatch spokeswoman Jennifer Roberts.
