The subscription music service provides unlimited, on-demand access to millions of songs from the four major record labels: Universal Music Group, Sony (NYSE: SNE<\/a>) Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG<\/a>) and EMI Music. There are also other independent labels. The service is expected to be available more widely in the first quarter of 2010. It includes a free, three-day trial, and then regularly costs $9.99 a month.
