Kingston Partners with eMusic on Free Downloads

By James Alan Miller
November 30, 2006

Kingston Technology is partnering with eMusic to deliver 50 free audio downloads to visitors of the memory specialist’s Mobile Phone Village. The catch: You must sign up for a 14-day eMusic trial.

With close to 2 million songs, eMusic is the second largest music download site after iTunes. In addition to tracks from many well-known artist in every genre, the service is the leading eletronic supplier of music from indie acts. It is also the only major music service to deliver songs in the universally compatible MP3 format.

Kingston launched the Mobile Phone Village this summer to promote the use of removable memory, especially its own, with cell phones and smartphones. At the time of the launch, the company told PDAStreet the purpose of its existence is to enlighten visitors on a variety of topics; ranging from news to selecting the right removable memory for their device to tips on using and optimizing memory with mobile applications.

Also, with so many different mobile devices leveraging removable memory nowadays and so many different formats available, it may be hard for users to keep track of which is which, let alone what kind is best for their device. So the Mobile Phone Village features a custom configuration, where you can search by manufacturer, model, memory type or party number, to help determine what memory card is best for their phone.

Kingston isn't selling the flash memory directly, however. So users who choose to purchase something may check out with whomever they like via a PriceGrabber engine.

A Download Central link leads you to a page that exits to Handango's main software site. With Handango, Kingston does not take a percentage of the revenue generated by downloads for itself, as it views the partnership as a value-add strategy.
