The service, to be called Urge, is due to launch in 2006 and will be integrated into a new version of Microsoft’s Windows Media Player.
Plans call for the service to offer more than 2 million songs for download from major labels and independent ones, as well as original content and MTV Networks programs. MTV Networks is owned by Viacom.
It doesn’t matter to me just how many songs they offer because I rarely find bands I want to download on iTunes or Napster. I hope to see that this new service will impress… they need a far better selection over the other two in order to succeed. Source: News.com
