Led Zeppelin goes digital
The NYTimes is reporting on Led Zeppelin's decision to sell its music online. The group is one of the last superstar acts to hold out against the digital tide.
Under a series of new agreements, the band will make its songs available first as ringtones and similar mobile features starting this week in an exclusive deal with Verizon Wireless. Digital downloads of songs from the band’s eight studio albums and other recordings are expected to be available through Verizon and digital-music services, including iTunes, on Nov. 13.
In the US, the only digital holdouts that outsell Led Zeppelin are the Beatles and Garth Brooks
