eMusic, AT&T, cellphone deal
p2pnet news view | product news:- Online music seller eMusic and AT&T say they’ve signed a deal aimed at using AT&T’s Mobile Music platform to sell songs from indie labels directly to cellphone uses without including a PC in the loop.
But it’s expensive, working out to about $1.60 per download.
Users have to subscribe to the service and thereafter, for $8 a month, they can download up to five tunes with, “additional packages of five songs are available for the same price whenever desired”.
People with the Samsung a717, a727, new versions of the popular Samsung SYNC and the Nokia N75 will be able to access the eMusic wireless store by clicking on the music note key, choosing the Shop Music option and then selecting eMusic, so the two companies.
eMusic’s subscription-based service offers users DRM-free MP3s at 192K VBR for as little as 27¢ per track, it says, pointing out its roster includes Concord Music Group, Koch, Naxos and Beggars Group,Epitaph, Touch and Go, Merge, Sun Records, Cooking Vinyl, Fantasy, Bloodshot, Blood and Fire, TVT, Nettwerk, Vice, Thrill Jockey, Fat Possum, Razor &
Tie, Six Degrees, SST, Smithsonian Folkways, and Stones Throw.
