Hypebot has the scoop that World Music Network, the record label that do the famous 'Rough Guide to...' series are launching their own music download site in 2006.
I think this is great news as although the Rough Guides are generally well worth having there's usually a few must have tracks, several decent tracks and a few stinkers on each CD. Having the means to pick and choose will be very welcome.
Glancing at my CD shelfs I can see that I already own the following Rough Guides:
- Highlife,
- Americana
- Italy,
- Scandinavia,
- Cumbia (my favourite),
- Greece,
- Russia,
- Tango,
- Turkey,
- Italia Nova,
- Hungarian Music,
- Klezmer,
- Brazilian Electronica.
So, it looks like they'll be getting some business from me !
