AT&T Deal With eMusic Excludes iPhones

Posted by kdawson on from the you-scratch-my-back dept.

ubermiester writes "ArsTechnica reports that AT&T has inked a deal with eMusic, a direct competitor to Apple's iTunes music store. eMusic specializes in independent artists and offers DRM-free content for direct download. For a monthly fee (the number of tracks one can download per month depends on the package) the site's catalog will be available to AT&T customers using Samsung and Nokia handsets, but not the iPhone."

    from the article:

    eMusic is a subscription service: pay a set monthly fee and download a set number of songs each month. The new service will keep that model, but the prices are going up. Way up. The new deal will cost $7.49

    an iPhone user can buy songs on iTMS for less.
