Report: Sony Planning Specialty Download Service July 15, 2010
| Classical
By Antony Bruno
Sony Music Entertainment is planning a specialty digital download service dedicated to classical music and, perhaps, jazz, according to the AllThingsD blog.
The service will feature higher-quality files than most digital music services offer, something that is a notable sore-spot among audiophile classical music and jazz aficionados. Known as “lossless” files, these downloads keep all the audio data of a CD, are far bigger files than the typical digital download, and cost more.
According to AllThingsD, Sony is negotiating with the other major labels to add their content as well. Reportedly, it would be a non-exclusive store, so all the labels would be able to continue selling their content elsewhere.
