Piracy of music and videos is one of the major snags that forced most of the companies to sell online music protected with copy and playback constraints. Now few of the major companies are offering a few songs, on experimentation basis, in the open MP3 file format that you may play on any digital music player capable of playing MP3s.
Earlier, only the owners of a few particular devices were allowed to download copy-protected tracks but now with the latest advancement, which is a result of the contract signed by Norah Jones and rock band Relient K with Britain’s EMI Music, will allow listening music tracks on whichever MP3 format you possess.
Now you will be able to get hold of tracks, such as Jones’ “Thinking About You” and Relient K’s “Must Have Done Something Right“, for just for 99 cents each, through Yahoo Inc.’s online music service to download directly on your MP3.
Though, there is nothing much special about this commencing, for various artists were doing it individually for some time, such as Dimensional Associates’ eMusic has already vended about 100 million MP3 downloads, but major groups and associates kept themselves away from such practices.
No wonder if, in recent future, you would be able to download the hottest albums or songs of your favorite rock stars even for a scanty price.
