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.
