d42, one of our visitors, used the newssubmit to tell us about another company that will offer legal song downloads. There will be tracks available from various artists like Kylie Minogue and Coldplay. The owners are very optimistic and believe their service will be profitable.
From September, fans will be able to listen, download or burn a number of tracks for a monthly fee of £4.99.
"This is a very important deal for the industry as a whole as HMV is one of the largest High Street retailers of CDs and stocks quite a broad catalogue." said OD2 Chief Executive, Charles Grimsdale.
Under the arrangement, fans will have access to the largest official catalogue of digital music ever made available in the UK.
There are quite a few of them already and their number is growing. Does the music business finally understand that internet is the future? Let us hope so. I really want quality downloads and I am prepared to pay for it. Read the article here.
