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.
