05.01.2006More Details on URGE's Launch
this Week!
With Microsoft to release the
first beta for Windows Media
Player 11, due tomorrow (or
today, depending on the time
zone), its URGE service,
co-developed with MTV, is also
due to be officially released
at the same time.
Thanks to MTV's
collaboration, URGE has great
chances to be able to compete
efficiently with Apple and
it's blockbuster iTunes. Its
imminent launch prices should
be as following:
-Monthly subscriptions
without any download limit
might be priced at 9,95
USD
-Same monthly
subscriptions as above, along
with the rights to copy the
tracks on compatible devices
will cost 14,95 USD
-Single songs will cost 99
cents, just like its
competitor
There's no obvious
difference between single
songs buying and
subscriptions, except that
subscriptions are unlimited
and that if the subscription
ends, the song will no longer
be usable. The service will be
launched along with a media
device which will play the
same role to URGE as the iPod
is to iTunes.

03.09.2006Microsoft Close to URGE Deal
in Europe
In May Microsoft launches its
belated entry into the world
of digital music sales in the
US by teaming up with MTV to
launch URGE - a service that
integrates digital music sales
directly into Windows
Media Player 11 .
URGE partners
Microsoft's technology with
MTV's brand profile in the
music industry in order to
present a challenge to the
dominance of iTunes in the
digital music download market.
Now, according
to industry sources, Microsoft
is closing in on a partnership
that will see the launch of a
digital music download service
in the UK - but with a
difference. I have been
informed that Microsoft is in
final discussions not only
with content providers such
MTV but also with a number of
major British
telecommunications
companies.
Whereas Microsoft's
partnership with MTV is mainly
designed to deliver brand and
marketing value, a partnership
with a telco could potentially
secure the Microsoft a
valuable additional channel of
delivery.
