TORONTO – Canadians can now purchase downloadable tracks playable on a range of music and mobile devices, including iPods and mobile phones, from Bell Canada’s Sympatico/MSN Music Store at musicstore.sympatico.msn.ca.
The MP3 tracks are Digital Rights Management (DRM) free, so there are no limits on the types of music devices or number of computers on which purchased songs can be played. More than a half million MP3 tracks are currently available, including songs from The Beatles, Coldplay, Norah Jones, Keith Urban, Gorillaz, The Rolling Stones, Nickelback, k-os and Stompin’ Tom Connors.
“As Canada’s leading Internet service provider and online portal, Bell continues to build and offer the most robust online entertainment portfolio, including music, video and gaming,” said Bell Residential Services president Kevin Crull. “The addition of MP3 tracks to Sympatico/MSN Music Store furthers our commitment to offering Canadians the very best entertainment experience.”
Albums in MP3 format will retail for the same price as DRM-enabled albums, while single tracks cost as little as 99 cents.
