The deal also will likely be the first in a string of relationships between Virgin Entertainment Group and the Rio digital music family. Virgin is considering an agreement with the music portal and software-maker RioPort. "We are in discussions with RioPort," said Anthony Deen, vice president of retail design and development for Virgin. RioPort was spun off from S3's Diamond Multimedia in October. Its software allows users to buy, collect, play and download digital audio tracks through its Web site and those of its partners, such as Viacom's MTV.com and VH1.com. RioPort also designs digital music delivery systems for third-party hardware companies, such as PC-TV devices. "We are talking with Virgin about several things--from solutions that we provide as well as powering downloadable sites such as MTV.com," said Brandon Talaich, a spokesman for RioPort. "Virgin is certainly a company with whom we are talking to, but no deal has been made yet." news.cnet.com
