Microsoft Corp. next year plans to launch a music download service, going up against Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes and many other services peddling music online. Microsoft has been considering a music download service and said in July that plans were in the very early stages, if they could be called plans at all. Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates at the time said he did not see a music service as a money-making service.

Sony to Launch Music Download Service

02/01/2005 09:09 PM

pspupdater.jpg imageThe Register is reporting that Sony will be launching a new music service specifically for its PSP portable gaming system. The new download service is supposed to be in place by March here to coincide with the launch of Sony's player. Tony Smith speculates that the service, once in place, could just as easily be used to push video content down to the device, which doesn't have a hard drive, but can accept flash MemoryStick in 1-2GB sizes—plenty big for a couple of movies.

I think if Sony's got a shot at the iPod, the PSP is it—it can do almost everything you'd want to do while on the road, including productivity stuff (if they release a keyboard).

Sony launched a noninfringing music downloading service, entering a growing market still dominated by Apple's iTunes and including a revised Napster .

Connect is based on a downloadable client , offers more than five hundred thousand songs, and offers now-traditional pricing: ninety-nine cents per song, with a subscription option. Additionally, Connect is appealing to indepedent labels for more content. As with iTunes, a digital rights management ( DRM ) application, MagicGate DRM , restricts sharing of downloaded music files. Connect's file format, ATRAC 3 , is not compatible with the popular iPod portable music player. The desktop client is available for Windows machines only.

Well, this should be a surprise to absolutely no one, but Microsoft has now officially confirmed their plans to offer a me-too music download service as part of their MSN properties. I'm almost surprised it's getting any news coverage at all - but when you mention Microsoft you get press. The thing that's interesting to me is that very few people are asking questions about how these hundred or so music download services are going to fit together. If I buy a CD from Tower Records, it's the same CD that I buy from a little independent music shop down the street or that I order online from Amazon. That's not the case with all these download stores. Each one has different formats and different restrictions - making the whole space one big mess. Why should I bother wading in when I have no idea if the music I buy will actually be useful to me in a year?

Xeni Jardin: MSN Music launched today. From a CBS Marketwatch report:
Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled details of a new service for downloading digital music, placing it squarely in competition with Apple's rival iTunes music service. Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft will launch a preview version of its new MSN Music service tomorrow that will allow users to legally download songs mostly for 99 cents each. The service will also make entire albums available, the majority of which will cost $9.99, the company said. Microsoft's push into the arena for downloadable music trails Apple's hugely successful iPod digital music player and its own iTunes music service. Apple also charges 99 cents for each song downloaded through iTunes.

Penn State begins free music download

Penn State begins free music download
service for students
01/18/2004 02:46 PM

On January 12, the University of Pennsylvania began providing its on campus student body free access to Napster 2.0's subscription music service through a campus-wide contract with Napster. The contract allows students to listen to streaming audio or "tethered downloads" for free. (Tethered downloads are downloaded music files that will only play as long as the user maintains a subscription to Napster, or in this case, as long as the student remains at Penn State.) Alternately, students can pay 99Ā¢ a track to burn songs to disk or transfer them to a mp3 player.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) other schools are watching the experiment closely to see if the availability of free legal music downloads will reduce illegal file sharing on campus. As part of the contract, Napster has provided local caching servers for about 90 percent of the most requested songs which is expected to improve performance and reduce network congestion. According to Penn State Live , almost 3000 students (of 17,000 eligible students) registered for the service on the first day, streaming or downloading about 100,000 songs. No network congestion was reported.
