FullAudio Secures BMG Music Publishing Agreement for Digital Music Subscription Service - Brief Article

Information Superhighways Newsletter, Sept, 2001

FullAudio announced a licensing agreement with BMG Music Publishing, a key step in FullAudio's push to obtain licenses from all five major record labels and music publishing companies for its unique, digital music subscription service. The agreement between FullAudio and BMG Music Publishing is the first catalog-wide license from a major publisher for a cache-download subscription service.

FullAudio is one of the only music service providers to remain independent in the digital music space. The license from the music publishing arm of Bertelsmann allows FullAudio to provide consumers with compositions to which BMG Music Publishing owns the rights. The non-exclusive, three-year agreement encompasses all available titles.

FullAudio's patent-pending solution provides a higher-quality music experience than the streaming music services that are or soon will be on the market. FullAudio's music service offers consumers two distinct advantages over streaming providers. First, whereas the listening quality of streaming music is only as good as a user's Internet connection, FullAudio delivers superior sound quality, regardless of connection speed. Second, FullAudio enables consumers to play tracks when they're not connected to the Internet, allowing them to take music with them on the go.
