Canada’s Bell to Open Sympatico Music Store

Canadian digital music company Moontaxi Media–which owns the first legal download site in the country, Puretracks.com–has tied up with telecom company Bell Canada will sell song downloads through a Sympatico Music Store.

The co-branded service is expected to launch this spring and will be fully bilingual. Any Internet user will be able to use the service, but the company’s 1.4 million Sympatico high-speed subscribers will get special offers and exclusive access to new music downloads.

Other deals are in the works, said Moontaxi co-CEO Derek van der Platt, who wouldn’t comment on rumours that Future Shop and Wal-Mart Canada could be among the next to announce.
