Sony launches free music service
Updated on 28 April 2008
Sony-BMG has signed a deal with website We7 to stream music for free on the internet.
Users can listen to 250,000 songs for free but have to wait for a ten second advert between each track.
Sony has an extensive catalogue of new artists including Britney Spears, Mark Ronson, Kasabian and Leona Lewis.
The complete back catalogue of artists like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley are also available.
All the music will be available to people who have signed up.
We7.com is the brainchild of UK music legend Peter Gabriel who is no stranger to digital music. He also set up a music download service selling individual tracks called OD2 in 1999.
Gabriel built it up to a database of approximately 350,000 tracks before selling it on to US digital music distributor Loudeye in 2004.
