NEW YORK, NY. (Top 40 Charts/ Qtrax) - EMI Music, one of the world's leading music companies, has entered into an agreement with ad-supported digital music service Qtrax to make EMI's catalog of digital music available to music fans in the US and Canada.
As part of the agreement, EMI's music will be available free to registered Qtrax members for unlimited streaming or downloading to a PC. Fans can also load downloaded tracks on up to three portable devices and play them while their membership remains active (fans maintain membership by visiting the site at least once every 60 days to keep downloads active on PCs or devices). Those who wish to permanently own tracks can do so via direct Qtrax links to participating digital retailers.
"This is a revolutionary time for the music industry," said Founder and Chairman of Qtrax Allan Klepfisz. "Guy Hands and EMI Music have demonstrated great vision and leadership and we couldn't be more thrilled to have their support," he continued. "Music fans will soon be able to legally download tracks from EMI's rich, storied catalogue, giving them access to one of the world's largest repertoires of music."
