Online Elvis Channel Introduced by MusicNow

The new channel contains more than 2,000 Presley tracks and follows a MusicNow announcement in July of two channels, one dedicated to Blue Note Records jazz artists and another focused on composer Quincy Jones.

MusicNow launched in March with a subscription service in a magazine-like format. It was developed by independent music company FullAudio Corp.

At $9.95 a month, MusicNow customers can stream over 200,000 songs and get conditional downloads available for on-demand play online and offline for the duration of the subscription.

The service also offers downloads at 99 cents per song that can be burned to CD or transferred to portable devices.

With the new channel, MusicNow subscribers will be able to stream, download and burn Elvis hits to their hard drives.

Burning to portable computers is also available at this time at the 99 cent per song fee.

The new Presley channel, which went live on Friday, features hits from the upcoming Oct. 7 release of "Elvis 2nd to None," a follow-up to last year's hit compilation album "Elvis 30 #1 Hits."

The new album will include a never-before-released song recorded by the singer nearly 40 years ago. The song, "I'm a Roustabout," was written for the 1964 Presley film "Roustabout." It was rejected by the film's producers and never used.

The album will also feature a new remix of Presley's 1969 song "Rubberneckin," which is already available on MusicNow but not available in stores.

BMG's RCA label last week said it would release the new song in the fall. The announcement was made on the eve of the 26th anniversary of Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977, at 42.

MusicNow and BMG, a unit of Germany's Bertelsmann AG, said they will also add articles about Elvis and merchandise.

MusicNow is available at https://www.elvispresleyshop.com and through Charter Communications Inc., Clear Channel Communications, EarthLink Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Media Player.
