EBay's web-based phone service Skype has been given the go-ahead by EMI Music Publishing and Warner Music Group to sell song downloads from the two companies at an online music store.
Skype could sell the songs via its existing online store, which offers Skype-compatible hardware and accessories to the service's nearly 95 million users. The music store has not yet launched, but more information will be available this week, according to a company spokeswoman.
At the site personal.skype.com, users can already purchase generic ring-tones for $1.20 each, but the deals with EMI and Warner could include tracks from artists such as Madonna, Rob Thomas and Green Day at undetermined pricing.
According to EMI, Skype now has license to use songs from the publisher's catalog for downloading, subscriptions and master-tones on a world-wide basis, though in order to do so, Skype must also get permission from individual record labels. So far, only Warner has consented.
