Universal Music Unveils Digital Download Program
posted by justfred on Wednesday November 20, @08:17AM
from the universal-harmony? dept.
Digital Entertainment (Reuters) Universal Music will offer more than 43,000 song tracks for download at retail outlets and online, in an attempt to combat peer-to-peer services. The downloads, priced at 99 cents for single tracks and $9.99 for albums, will be burnable to CD and transferable to secure portable devices. The digital offerings includes current and catalog releases, by artists such as Eminem, Diana Krall, Jay-Z, Nelly, Shaggy, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow and U2.

Universal's program follows recent announcements of similar licensing deals by the other major labels. Will these developments lure file traders away from P2P sites?
