Tower Records Digital Joins Music Download Market
Monday, June 26th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Tower Records launched its Tower Records Digital music download service on Tuesday. Like the iTunes Music Store, the service offers individual songs for US$0.99, and albums for $9.99. Unlike the iTMS, however, Tower's service features songs encoded at 192kbps, a higher-quality recording rate that Apple's 128kbps. All tracks are encoded with Microsoft's copy protection scheme, so users are required to use Windows Media Player. The service is not Mac or iPod compatible.
Tower Records was one of the first companies to start selling music CDs online, but this is its first attempt at a music download service.
