Destra lands ABC digital music store deal
Destra said in a statement posted to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) that three of the ABC's most popular Web sites, the ABC Shop, the Triple J youth radio station and ABC Classic FM station, would feature the music download facility.
"Within each Web site is a custom-built download shop which showcases sound clips, track listings, ABC album art, links to programs, Triple J music forums on the Triple J Web site and new music from ABC Music and ABC Classics," Destra said.
Destra said the music was in the Windows Media Architecture format and included built-in technology for consumers to copy songs onto a compact disc three times, as well as to a portable media player.
The technology is designed to prevent unauthorised use, offering record companies protection from copyright violation.
