UK labels look to mobile

UK labels are looking to the mobile phone industry to kick-start growth in digital music sales, said industry body the BPI this morning, reports macworld.

"The BPI notes that UK consumers are Europe's biggest mobile downloaders, with mobile services boosting current growth in digital music sales

While demand for older monophonic and polyphonic ringtones is in decline, record labels are set to benefit as new business models emerge in mobile, creating new markets for recorded music.

.. Digital music consultancy MusicAlly estimate that UK consumers download up to 1.3 million tracks per month using their mobiles."
