Qtrax makes a free music download deal with Universal

by billso on Sunday, 11 May 2008

Uni­ver­sal Music Group has announced its deal with Qtrax for free music down­loads. See these reports from the Asso­ci­ated Press and Engad­get. UMG is the first of the major record­ing labels to reach such an accord.

Back on 27 Jan­u­ary 2008, I pub­lished a billso.com story about the Qtrax free music down­load ser­vice. Qtrax intends to earn adver­tis­ing rev­enue from its P2P web site and software.

Of course, Qtrax hasn’t released any Mac soft­ware yet. There’s a beta ver­sion avail­able for Win­dows users. The Qtrax browser is based on Mozilla, and it sounds vaguely like Flock.

Some­times it takes a few months to work out all the pesky details.
