UK launch for SpiralFrog.
Free US download service SpiralFrog to spawn UK version of ad-funded model next spring
By Martin Talbot
Free music download service SpiralFrog is planning a UK launch in April next year.
SpiralFrog told Music Week of its plans as it announced a ground- breaking deal with Universal for North America last week, ahead of its debut there in December.
The service, positioned as an alternative for users of file-sharing services, offers consumers the opportunity to download tracks free of charge, with revenue derived from advertising on the site. It is understood that Universal has received a significant advance on the revenues generated from advertising as part of its deal.
The service offers only "tethered" downloads, which can be played on a PC or Mac and transferred to a Microsoft-enabled portable music player. But they are not iPod-compatible, must be re-registered after a month and cannot be burned to CD.
It is understood that Universal - which agreed the SpiralFrog deal after around 12 months of negotiations - was caught off-guard by the announcement last Tuesday, expecting a full announcement to come some time next week.
