EA has entered the digital music distribution business with the launch of EA Recordings, after entering into a partnership with the Canadian record company Nettwerk Music Group. EA has a catalogue of more than 3000 minutes of wholly owned music acquired over the last twenty years, with many of EA's videogame titles featuring original soundtracks. Music clips will be available as ringtones, mastertones or MP3s from your usual suspects such as iTunes, Yahoo Music, AOL Music and Rhapsody.
"This deal is a triumphant new commitment to making classic EA music and themes available to millions worldwide," said Steve Schnur, worldwide executive of music and music marketing at EA. "We are proud to be on the cutting-edge of this trend with Nettwerk - an innovative and proven partner that is a world leader in digital music distribution."
