AOL Unveils Digital Music Service

31 Aug, 2006, 12:07 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Services

After weeks of being in the news for all the wrong reasons, AOL finally has reason to sing. Time Warner’s America OnLine has just launched a digital music subscription service which offers downloads from users, with a bank of more than 2.5 million audio tracks and thousands of music videos. Moreover, users may access music and videos, transferred from AOL Music Now from their PCs as well as compatible portable devices provided they maintain a portable tier subscription.

The service offers AOL Radio with XM offering more than 200 AOL Radio stations plus select premier XM Satellite Radio channels to users. AOL is also introducing community and personalization capabilities for users to discover and listen to customized music. The company has tied up with several labels, including Sony BMG, to provide thousands of music videos for use in the AOL Music Now service. The service requires no software to download and is available at www.aolmusicnow.com via a web-browser from any Internet-connected PC.

The service works with Microsoft Windows Media Player (version 10 and higher) and Winamp version 5.2.3. Visitors have the option to browse and purchase songs and music videos on an a la carte ($.99 per track, $1.99 per video) or subscription basis from any Internet-connected PC.
