Microsoft music service this year | |
|
||
| Time: 08:40 EST/13:40 GMT | News Source: Geek.com | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

Microsoft used the South by Southwest Music trade show that ran over the weekend to confirm plans to launch a music service later this year. The opportunity was also taken to show record labels the service running behind closed doors. No details of pricing were given, but it has been made clear that Microsoft aims to promote the service almost exclusively through the MSN portal. Users will be able to sign up via MSN and then view the catalogue of available songs for purchase and download. The amount of music that will be available is also unknown, but a Microsoft spokeswoman stated the company is "going to be striving for a large catalogue of music." | ||

Question for the cognoscenti – Does anyone except the record labels make any money on these music download portals? Is MS plan to increase traffic on MSN with music downloads, videos from MSNBC and a new web search service? Does this increased traffic translate into more bucks to MS?
BTW – Apple says they make no money on iTunes downloads only on iPod sales. |
