[Sydney, AUSTRALIA] Following its parent company Bertlesmann's new digital direction, BMG Australia has signed a deal with digital audio player manufacturer SONICblue to make promotional tracks from the label's artists available for free timed-limited download in Windows Media format.
The 14 tracks, including music from John Farnham, Bachelor Girl, You Am I and Guven, will be available for worldwide download from www.riohome.com, the Web site for SONICblue's Rio product. The site, which is yet to be populated with content, is to offer the tracks from November 7, 2000 (U.S. time). The promotional tracks are available free of charge, but will expire after a 30-day listening period, a strategy BMG hopes will protect record sales. Posts tagged Sony BMG at BloggingStocks::
