Universal Music, Sony BMG and Warner Music to take on iTunes?
The news is that Microsoft have been approached by Universal Musci, Sony BMG and Warner Music about launcing a rival to iTunes by offering free music downloads if they're going onto authorised hardware such as the new Microsoft Zune MP3.
It recent moves, Universal Music, reportedly refused to renew a long-term agreement to offer their music via iTunes but now agree on a monthly basis. This smacks of a move away from iTunes as they wouldn't be able to guarentee the launch date of the new service, but would want to get away quickly.
It looks good for the Zune if they can get music that is avaliable through their Marketplace but isn't available through iTunes.

It's time that we started lobbying (via the feedback section on the Zune.net website) for two things, firstly a prompt UK release for the Zune2, I've got the 30 gig model, and apart from not being able to register for the Zune Marketplace or buy accessories anywhere but Ebay it's fantastic! Secondly for Mac support for the Zune Software, if Apple can do it with ITunes Microsoft NEED to do it with Zune!!
