Music download deal signed by NZ site

Music download website digiRAMA has secured a ground-breaking deal with all four major record companies and The Radio Network.

Managing director Shaun Davis, who set up the website with his brother Garth less than two years ago, said the deal means New Zealanders have access to virtually any song they can think of.

He said people can hear a song on the radio, go on-line and download it in about a minute for a fee.

It was a major coup to be the first New Zealand site to have a full catalogue of music and to beat bigger corporate rivals to do it, he said.

The Radio Network owns the ZM, Classic hits, Flava and Viva radio stations.
