Internet Daily for Tuesday, June 5, 2001 by Frank Barnako CBS MarketWatch.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- EMI to let users 'burn' their own CDs EMI Recorded Music, ranked third among the world's five largest music labels, plans to let customers buy music tracks through the Internet and use their PCs to make custom CDs. EMI said Tuesday it has invested in software developer Roxio Inc., to provide the technology necessary for recording while prohibiting unauthorized redistribution. "Cooperation between technology companies and the music industry is at the core of our plans to develop new revenue streams for our artists," said Jay Samit, EMI's senior vice president, in a statement. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Net-only outlets dominate May listening Seven of the 10 most-listened-to Internet radio stations last month were Web-only operations, according to Portland, Ore.-based MeasureCast. Top-rated MEDIAmazing.com, featuring music streams customized to a listener's preference, was heard by an estimated 142,328 people during the month, with total listening time clocking at 715,000 hours. Virgin Radio was ranked second, followed by 3WK, RadioMargaritaville.com and Cablemusic.com. MeasureCast's latest weekly report also showed that the total number of hours streamed by online broadcasters has increased almost 50% since January. ----------------------------------------------------------------- WorldNet to offer users free trial video e-mail WorldNet, the Internet service operated by AT&T, is offering a free trial of video e-mail. The company said no additional software is necessary to create and send the files, but users do need a Pentium-class computer, a Web camera and a microphone. "It's a great way to really 'see' your college kids while they're away at school, send video greetings to parents and grandparents and, if you're [Olympics champion] Marion Jones, display your medals and trophies," said WorldNet Vice President Ed Chatlos. Fremont, Calif.-based Talkway Communications, a multimedia delivery content service provider, delivers the streaming capability and hosts the video content on its servers. The trial will run into July, during which time AT&T WorldNet Service will offer subscribers up to 60 free minutes a month per account of video e-mail. Pricing for the service after the trial's expiration has not been disclosed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Washington Post online gets personal Washingtonpost.com introduced a service that lets users custom design their online version of the newspaper. Users can select various modules of information -- national news, community headlines, sports, entertainment and so forth. Specific columnists and features can also be chosen. "Whether it's delivering the news to e-mail inboxes, or being available [on a] mobile phone, we are working to give users the information they want, when and where they want it," said Washingtonpost.com CEO Christopher M. Schroeder. ----------------------------------------------------------------- AOL backs launch of one-stop benefits site The National Council on the Aging and America Online said they are co-sponsoring a Web site to guide seniors to federal and state benefit programs.
