Satellite broadcaster Start Sky Song Service
Satellite broadcaster Sky is planning to add a new service, with the help of which it will be possible to listen to the music online. Moreover such music service has Apple iTunes.
Customers will be able to have an access to more than four million music songs in order to download them. There users can find new releases as well as catalogues of various main music labels.
As for iTunes, customers will not be able to avail individual tracks they only can select from several subscription packages.
Customers can download for £6.49 a month one album or ten individual songs or even stream as much music as they want. If a customer pays £7.99 a month then he will be able to download an album or 15 tracks and also streaming music.
According to Mike Darcey, Sky’s chief operating officer, Sky Song Service is for those people who want to have legitimate digital services that offer great value, choice and easy in usage. Providing legal access to digital music is a way to struggle against illegal downloading.
Mark Mulligan, analyst with Forrester Research, said that Sky is a good option to educate people about subscriptions. If Sky will work out a long-term strategy of the service, then it will make it a big hit.

Most music subscription services offer very much the same service. These companies are missing the concept. Offering a monthly subscription service and then asking customers to pay for downloads in addition to their subscription is poor. What I would like to see is a company offering a monthly music subscription service where you can download unlimited MP3 DRM free songs without any additional cost. Come on someone take the initiative. It could make you a fortune.
