Terra Lycos plans to jump into the subscription music business today, offering the Rhapsody online music service from Listen.com.

Company officials described Rhapsody--a combination of genre-based radio and personalized Internet jukebox--as a natural evolution of their music services, but it also responds to the subscription services offered by Yahoo and MSN.

Listen.com, which has licenses from four of the five major record companies, is expected to add two of the top independents to its roster today: Zomba Recording Corp., home of Britney Spears, and TVT Records, whose acts include Naughty by Nature and Default.
