first sales of full-length song downloads to mobile phones by year's end

There is another mass market on the horizon: Officials at Warner Music and other labels are predicting the first sales of full-length song downloads to mobile phones by year's end, reports the IHT.

Eric Daugan, Warner's new media director in France, sees a different audience for this mobile music than for the typical iPod-like player, which can hold thousands of songs. "That's for music nerds like me," he said. "Now we're looking at the 70 percent of the population that always carries a mobile phone."
