Microsoft to compete with AOL.....AOL Makes Moves The growth potential hasn't escaped the notice of AOL. Last month it bought Internet music companies Spinner Networks Inc. and Nullsoft Inc. to give its 17 million subscribers access to the latest technology for playing and recording music over the Internet. Spinner's Internet-jukebox service has 1.5 million users each month and broadcasts 2 million songs daily over its Spinner.com Web site. Nullsoft is a developer of MP3 technology, which lets consumers download compact disc-quality recordings for free. AOL is developing music services for high-speed Internet access and will offer live and Internet-only sports and radio broadcasting, as well as music. ''As more and more people are connected via cable modems, it will be easier to listen over the PC,'' Bay said. ''There will be an explosion in new players, new entrants, music Web sites.''
