Sky offers free music downloads
Monday 16th November 2009, by Daniel King
Broadband customers can take advantage of free music downloads offered by Sky, whether or not they use the broadcaster's own internet services.
The deal is part of a collaboration with newspaper The Sun, which is printing promotional codes that are needed in order to access the free downloads.
Music can then be downloaded from Sky Songs, the broadband provider's own online audio store which is compatible with iTunes and Windows Media Player.
In order to qualify to download ten free tracks, readers must collect three of the six promotional codes being printed in issues of The Sun.
Downloading tracks requires users to enter debit or credit card details; however, Sky Songs stresses that the offer is entirely free and that cards will not be charged if the subscription is cancelled within the first 30 days.
As an alternative to downloading ten individual tracks, music fans can instead choose any one entire album to a value of £6.49.
Sky Songs adds that, even if the subscription is cancelled, the downloaded music can be kept.
By choosing to keep the subscription active, meanwhile, listeners can access streamed music without advertisements.
The offer comes one month after the official launch of Sky Songs, which opened to customers on October 19th.
Chief operating officer of Sky Mike Darcey said at the time: "Our music partners bring an outstanding catalogue and unrivalled expertise that complements Sky's strengths in content distribution.
"Sky Songs will reach out to consumers who want legitimate digital services offering choice, ease of use and great value."
