Sony Musiclub First To Try Competing Sub Services
Sony Electronics' online music hub, Sony Musiclub, is serving as a distribution partner for both the Pressplay and Rhapsody subscription services. The site appears to be the first distribution affiliate for multiple subscription services.
Musiclub is currently offering
the subscription services in an advanced test mode, notes Sony Electronics music services business development VP Bob Nell. An official launch is set for later this summer.
As part of its promotion for Pressplay--which recently announced that it will allow burning of tracks to MiniDisc later this year--purchasers of Sony products, including the Net MD MiniDisc player, the Clie PDA with an MP3 player, and Sony Viao computers, will receive special offers to join the subscription service via Musiclub.
