Account holders will be able to add value to prepaid Internet Music Cards using a credit card, Jennings says. Supertracks also will announce Monday that it has become the first licensee of Preview Systems' new platform for the digital distribution of music, which incorporates Intel's new music-specific security technology dubbed the Software Integrity System. That platform will serve as the secure backbone for the EMI downloads. Names of the acts whose music will be offered for download were still being confirmed at press time, he said.
Plans are to expand it to online card sales early next year, however.
That's a very important distinction to make. Urocket, which is venture-capital funded, is centered around a wide mandate of bringing Internet music into the mainstream, Burger says. We intend to offer only premium content on our portal site, which will include a number of services, including digital music downloads. With EMI, we're going live for the first time with premium content of the type that people would actually go into a record store and buy. For reorders call Reprint Services at 651.582.3800.
