Report: Sony plans to sell
music through Internet

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's Sony Music
Entertainment plans to start allowing Internet
users to download music for a fee and record
it onto minidiscs, according to a published
report today.

Customers would be able to choose from
music produced by Sony, and would be
charged according to the number of songs
downloaded or the playing time of the music,
the Asahi newspaper reported. The newspaper
did not say when the new program would be
implemented.

The company declined to confirm the report.

Sony Music Entertainment's parent company,
Sony Corp., has been aggressively pursuing
new recording technologies including the
minidisc.

Earnings at Sony's music division increased
22 per cent in the three months ended Dec. 31
even as the Sony group's overall profits fell by
20 per cent.
