For those who want to support the artist or just have money enough, Emusic.com has a new way of listening to your favourite music...
EMusic.com Inc. and the Harry Fox Agency Inc. today said they amended their previous licensing agreement so the site can add full-song streaming to its subscription service. EMusic.com will pay the agency, a unit of the National Music Publishers' Association Inc. (NMPA), a one quarter of a cent ($.0025) royalty fee the first time a song is streamed by a user. Music fans can download MP3 files from EMusic.com for 99 cents per song or $8.99 for an album, or buy a subscription at $9.99 per month for unlimited downloads. EMusic.com president Gene Hoffman said the new streaming feature allows customers to hear songs they want to preview, have access to background music, or listen to holiday music they don't want to own. "We are adding flexibility by adding streaming, that's what this new license allows us to do," Hoffman said in a news release. "We think it adds a pretty significant feature to our core downloading." |
