Universal Offer Album Downloads
12/07/2002 02:13 PM Ben Berkowitz

The music arm of struggling media conglomerate Vivendi
Universal on Tuesday said it would work with the company's
digital music operation to offer subscription music
downloads.

Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company,
said it would offer the content of about 1,000 of its
albums, primarily from its back catalog, through EMusic.com,
a unit of Vivendi Universal Net USA.

Among the artists included in the new licensing program were
B.B. King, Jimmy Buffett, the Four Tops, Joe Cocker,
Ringo Starr and Stevie Wonder.


"It's the sort of stuff that has trouble getting into the
rack these days," said Larry Kenswil, president of the eLabs
division of Universal Music Group. "It's stuff that deserves
to find a broader audience."

The titles from Universal Music would be integrated into
EMusic's service, which offers unlimited access to over
200,000 songs in the standard MP3 format for anywhere from
$9.99 to $14.99 per month.

EMusic subscribers gain full rights to burn the files they
have downloaded onto CDs or to transfer them to portable
music players, as opposed to some other subscription music
services, which place restrictions on how and where the
files can be transferred and used.

Vivendi has claimed as many as 50,000 subscribers for
EMusic, which competes with other online services like
FullAudio, Rhapsody, Liquid Audio Inc, Pressplay and
MusicNet.

Rhapsody is a service of Listen.com. FullAudio is privately
held. MusicNet is a joint venture of AOL Time Warner Inc,
Bertelsmann AG, EMI Group and RealNetworks Inc, while
Pressplay is a joint venture of Vivendi and Sony Corp.
