SpiralFrog Adds EMI Music Catalog

On the heels of startup SpiralFrog's agreement with Universal Music Group, the soon-to-be free music download service also signed on EMI Music Publishing to expand its online catalog.

SpiralFrog adds EMI artists like Sting, Nelly Furtado, and Kanye West. In addition to music downloads, the company also acquired a worldwide license to allow users to search for display EMI lyrics. "We are very pleased to help launch SpiralFrog, said Roger Faxon, Co-CEO of EMI Music Publishing. It is a very exciting concept which fuses advertising with music downloads and other services to recapture consumer demand which has been hijacked by online piracy." Because nobody ever thought to let people listen for free by pairing up advertising with music before. I'll bet Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo! My Web | Furl Bookmark murdok:
