Cherry pick favourite songs with a-la-carte downloads: digital music gives you the option to buy only your favourite tracks from an album if you wish to do so. Some tracks are digital-only releases while others may have an exclusive period as a digital track before being released on disc. You can even turn your individual favourites into an album. |
|
‘Try before you buy’ with subscription services: music fans can have access to a catalogue of up to six million songs and latest releases for a monthly fee on subscription sites. Sampling is unrestricted, allowing you to preview entire tracks before buying. |
|
"Playlist, recommend and compile" digital services allow endless opportunities to enjoy making and recommending playlists to friends or putting together compilations. |
|
Enjoy music ‘on the go’ through wi-fi streaming or download: to a portable music player from an online subscription or to a mobile phone from an operator. If you like the sound of something playing in wireless zones, download it to your player there and then. |
|
Create the ultimate personalised radio on demand: many online music services allow you both to choose from a wide range of radio channels and to design your own personalised radio. You can even get recommendations based on your musical tastes. |
|
Discover new releases with ringtones and master ringtones: these are premier releases for many artists’ new material, generating demand by word of mouth. |
|
Get everything about a favourite artist with digital ‘bundle’ releases on their site: tracks bundled together with videos, artwork, e-tickets and artist interviews are ideal for 3G mobile and online customers. |
|
Own the physical copy: on CD single, album, DVD video, DualDisc or even vinyl. |
|
Download music videos first: as premiers or exclusives, these are being channelled first via mobile and online services, often before the actual song release. |
|
Listen to music on a broadcast: on radio or TV, through analog, digital, cable or satellite. |
