Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group are the latest players in Sprint PCS Vision’s blossoming Music Tones business. UMG and WMG are making select songs available for downloadable purchase as part of Sprint’s Music Tones, which are ring tones that use actual songs instead of simulations.
Sony music has been available for Music Tones since July, while UMG songs debuted earlier this month, and WMG songs will become available within two or three months.
Music Tones cost about $1.50-$2.50 per song — considerably higher than the 99-cent-per-song downloads available through such services as Apple’s iTunes.
