MTV Networks and Microsoft will join forces to design and develop a new digital music service, the companies said Tuesday.
The service, to be called Urge, is due to launch in 2006 and will be integrated into a new version of Microsoft's Windows Media Player.
Plans call for the service to offer more than 2 million songs for download from major labels and independent ones, as well as original content and MTV Networks programs. MTV Networks is owned by Viacom.

wait a minute... you mean mtv still plays music? i remember when music channels actually did that instead of programs about has-been celebrities and how britney spends her bucks. if this service is anything like that, i'll pass.
we're here for a good time, not a long time- so have a good time, the sun can't shine every day.....
I have the Urge to download more cowbell.
17 USC § 1008 Prohibition on certain infringement actions:
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the noncommercial use by a consumer for making digital musical or analog musical recordings.
Ill resist the urge to try it. Theres just so much crap there trying to capitalize on .. Do we really need another music download service or a video on demand service? I get board watching a video more then once or any movie for that matter.. and the drm and expiration dates they put on it is lame. My friend at work bought a ringone for 2.99.. It expires in 90 days.
