RegHardware: Samsung is to take the digital music fight to Apple by launching its
own song download service in the UK, France and Germany, the South
Korean giant revealed today. Details of the service remain scarce, but
we can say it will be operated by digital music distributor MusicNet,
which also powers Virgin Digital, HMV, Yahoo!, iMesh and others.
Samsung is typing the debut if the download service into the arrival of its YP-K5 digital music player,
which is getting its first public showing at the IFA consumer
electronics expo in Berlin today. The YP-K5 is fitted with up to 4GB of
Flash memory and plays the usual array of audio formats, along with
Linux-friendly Ogg files. There's an FM radio on board too, and the
player features Samsung's 3D audio Digital Natural Sound engine (DNSe)
for "full basses and a full sound".
