Major design win for Microsoft. Windows Media format gets Warner Music endorsement By Evan Hansen Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 31, 2000, 4:55 p.m. PT Warner Music Group on Wednesday will announce a deal to use Microsoft's Windows Media as its primary format for commercial audio downloads over the next three years, with the first tracks to appear online by Thursday. The agreement gives another boost to Microsoft's audio format, which has become popular with record labels in part because of anti-copying features aimed at thwarting online music piracy. Three of the four other major labels--Bertelsmann's BMG Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI Recorded Music--also use Windows Media.
