As internet access is getting more and more popular, the diversity of things that can be done online is on a continuously ascending path. Sony BMG, in an attempt to adapt to the current evolutionary trend, is allegedly close to signing a contract with MySpace Music that would allow the first to offer users everywhere online music catalogues, ad-free music and video streaming as well as paid MP3 downloads.

“The simplest option would be a flat rate under which a monthly payment would provide access to our entire music catalogue for all digital players, including Apple's Ipod,” Sony Music’s chief executive Rolf Schmidt-Holtz recently declared for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, according to CNN. The fee for such a subscription is estimated to vary between six and eight euros. “It is even possible that clients could conserve some songs indefinitely, that they would own them even after the subscription expired,” he added.

Another fairly appealing, however still to be confirmed idea is the bringing aboard of mobile phone operators, in order to allow users to download and open audio files using their mobile phones as support.

Details about this major deal have yet to be revealed, as not even a launch date for the service has been made public.
