Windows Media Is The Leading Industry Choice For Music Services

* Both the pressplay (Sony Music, Vivendi Universal, and EMI) and FullAudio Corp. (ClearChannel Radio) online music subscription services offer songs in Windows Media Audio and incorporate Windows Media digital rights management (DRM) technology.

* Other examples include Rhapsody Digital Music Service (Listen.com), RioPort Inc. and CenterSpan Communications Corp., which used Windows Media DRM to rebuild Scour Exchange, making it a leading source of legitimate downloadable entertainment. In addition, international services in Europe, such as those supplied by OD2 to MSN, Tiscali, and Ministry of Sound utilize Windows Media in their offerings.

* More than 50 million movies have been distributed to online viewers using Windows Media. Leading content providers are delivering more than 9 million movies per month using Windows Media and gaining revenue as a result.

* Subscription video services from the US, Europe and the Far East are offering their VOD subscribers the highest quality video directly to their PCs powered by Windows Media. Examples include:

* In Japan, Pony Canyon's "One Day Vision" showcases films from top studios. (URL)
