BBC iPlayer Beta now available for iPhone

Remember the recent unconfirmed quotes from the BBC that a version of the iPlayer was coming for the hallowed iPhone? Well in a surprise move, no doubt trying to gain a little momentum with today’s SDK furore, a limited selection of shows from the iPlayer have been made available to UK residents on their iPhones. It’s worth noting, however, that the service makes use of existing technologies on the iPhone — not anything announced today.

At the moment only the BBC-produced ‘Whistleblower’ documentary seems to be working from the iPlayer website, with content being streamed-only via the iPhone’s built-in QuickTime player — quite the surprise given the heavy use of Windows-only technologies until fairly recently — although we’d guess there’s more shows on the way.

Of course, it’s a beta service (when aren’t they?) so you may not be able to access all the content and the usual caveats apply. As ever, the iPlayer is only for UK residents.

7digital.com to offer DRM-free MP3s from Warner Music International

7digital.com to offer DRM-free MP3s from Warner Music International - Image 1

 

 

If you abhor the fact that most of the mp3s being sold online have DRM, well then this tidbit of news might be able to make you guys smile. 7digital.com has just announced that they will be offering DRM-free MP3s from Warner Music International, a division of the Warner Music Group.

In fact, 7digital.com is the first major European download store to offer people in UK, Ireland, Spain, France, and Germany, mp3 downloads from Warner Music. Eighty percent of the total 3.5 million tracks from 7digital.com is now MP3, alongside formats such as WMA and AAC.

What’s great about this is that these songs that can be downloaded can be readily played in various MP3 players, including the world-famous iPod.

With this latest offering, Ben Drury, CEO of 7digital.com, said

7digital.com is excited to be Warner Music’s first major partner in Europe to bring MP3s to the marketplace. Our 1.2 million registered customer base has proved to us that MP3s sell very well and MP3 is currently the format of choice for digital media consumers.

7digital.com is committed to becoming the destination for MP3s and we plan to make our entire music catalogue available in DRM-free, high-quality MP3 format by summer 2008.

iTunes now second largest U.S. music retailer

Quite unsurprisingly, Apple’s online music retailer store iTunes ranked as the second biggest music retailer in the U.S., according to NPD Group’s 2007 sales count. iTune’s sales accounted to a six percent increase in digital music sales, aside from the video and movie content available in iTunes.

The sales increase has attributed to a decline in CD sales, however. According to Reuters, about a million audiophiles in the U.S. stopped buying music CDs in favor of digital downloads last year. This change of media preference pulled the music industry’s performance down by 10 percent.

Apple’s popular music retail store currently serves about 50 million customers, and digital music downloads make up about 10 percent of music sales in the United States. Approximately four billion songs were bought and downloaded from iTunes.
