o Report: Record 20 Million Song Downloads Sold During Holiday Week

Los Angeles - Consumers equipped with new MP3 players and gift certificates to online music stores purchased nearly 20 million song downloads during the week between Christmas and New Year's, breaking the record for one-week digital sales, Billboard reported, citing data from Nielsen SoundScan. Prior to that week, the record was 9.5 million songs, and was set in the week leading up to Christmas. During the week following Christmas, the top 11 singles listed on Billboard's "Hot Digital Songs" chart each sold more than 100,000 downloads; hip-hop group D4L's "Laffy Taffy" took the top spot with 175,000 downloads. A total of 352 million digital song downloads were sold during 2005, a 147% increase over 2004's 142.6 million. Based on last year's post-holidays buying trends, Billboard estimated that the download market in 2006 could reach sales of between 750 million and 1 billion tracks.

o Google to Launch Web Video Download Store

Las Vegas - Google on Friday announced the upcoming launch of its Google Video Store, an online marketplace where creators can set their own prices for selling video downloads, while Google takes a 30% commission. The company has already lined up deals to offer video including CBS TV shows, NBA games, Charlie Rose interviews, clips from Getty Images' archive films collection and music videos from Sony BMG. CBS will sell episodes of current prime-time shows like "CSI" and "Survivor," as well as library classics such as "I Love Lucy," "The Brady Bunch" and "The Twilight Zone," for $1.99 each. NBA games will be available one day after broadcast for $3.99. Other content providers will be able to set their own prices for video content, with the option to offer programming for free. "For video producers and anyone with a video camera, Google Video will give you a platform to publish to the entire Google audience in a fast, free and seamless way," said Google co-founder Larry Page. The service will utilize Google's proprietary video player and copy-protection technology; at launch, most copy-protected programming will not be able to be transferred to portable players such as Apple's iPod or Sony's PSP.

o Sony CD Settlement May Chill Label's Use of Copy-Protection Technology

New York - A federal judge has given preliminary approval to a settlement between record label Sony BMG and the consumers who filed lawsuits against the company over copy-protected music CDs it sold that could damage computers. Under the settlement, Sony BMG will stop manufacturing CDs with both of the copy-protection technologies -- from First4Internet and SunnComm Technologies -- which created security leaks that could invite malicious software onto computers. The settlement also commits Sony BMG to a "detailed security review process" prior to including any copy-protection software on future CDs. Those who purchased the offending CDs will be offered replacements without digital rights management software, with some also receiving free downloads of other Sony music from services like iTunes. The label is required to inform consumers of the settlement terms and CD exchange via newspaper ads, Google ads, e-mail and other means by Feb. 15. "The settlement helps consumers finally get music that will play on their computers without invading their privacy or eroding their security," said Corynne McSherry, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties group that represented some of the affected consumers.

o Clear Channel Radio Station Websites Launch On Demand Music Videos

San Antonio, Texas - Clear Channel Radio, the nation's largest radio station owner, on Monday announced the launch of a beta test of a new music video-on-demand feature on 16 of its radio station websites. The service includes thousands of music videos from artists on 40 labels, including major labels Universal, Warner and EMI. The videos include a "Buy CD" link and "Share Video" feature, which lets users send e-mail links to the videos. The company eventually plans to sell 15-second video ads that will play prior to the videos. Clear Channel stations will be able to customize their video selections, by featuring specific artists and promoting their DJs' favorite picks. The music video-on-demand service will initially launch for stations in cities including Los Angeles (KIIS), New York (WHTZ), Washington, D.C. (WWDC) and Boston (WXKS). Clear Channel plans to add the program to radio station websites across the country.

o Vodafone Teams Up with Sony on New "Radio DJ" Service

London - European wireless network operator Vodafone announced that it has teamed up with Sony to offer a new service called "Vodafone Radio DJ". The service boasts a system that allows listeners to "train" radio channels to personal taste by pressing "like" or "dislike" buttons. Vodafone said it planned to launch the service in France, Germany, the U.K. and three other European countries over the next few months and in 20 countries worldwide by year's end. The service will offer "hundreds of thousands of songs, both current popular hits and back catalog, from the world's largest record companies," including a number of smaller independent labels.

o Report: Worldwide Digital Radio Shipments to Hit 22 Million in 2009

Scottsdale, Ariz. - Worldwide shipments of digital radios, both for satellite and terrestrial services like HD Radio, are projected to grow from 5 million units in 2004 to 22 million units in 2009, according to a report from market research firm In-Stat. Driving growth in this market will be eroding prices for digital radios, partnerships between radio makers and car manufacturers, and new and compelling content and data services, In-Stat said. Satellite radio subscribers in the U.S. now number more than 9 million, while some 600 U.S. radio stations are now broadcasting in the digital HD Radio format. "In the U.S., satellite radio is driving the digital radio market," said In-Stat analyst Stephanie Guza. "In other markets, most notably in the U.K., terrestrial digital audio broadcasting is driving it. The launch of Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) services in Japan and Korea, along with increased promotional activity in Singapore, Australia and Taiwan over the next year, will drive digital radio shipments in Asia."
