Daniel F. Administrators Posted September 4, 2004 Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2004 Neowin.net reports MSN Music Store allows users to download music from a variety of artists for 99 cents per song, $9.90 per album. Content wise, the site does not pass the infamous Beatles test (context: neither do any others), yet a notice can be seen suggesting that the Beatles will soon be added. They claim to have licensed over 1 million songs, substantially more than other online outfits, from ?major music labels, independents, and even undiscovered artists". When Apple came to the UK, they had (and still are) problems securing contracts with Independent labels. Microsoft appears to have used its significantly larger financial clout to solve these issues; The Beatles, for example, were only going online with a company that would offer them a lot of money. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
