Music To Kill, Race and Football To (March 1, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

Electronic Arts today launched EATrax, a major partnership with iTunes to provide a large volume of music from EA games "past and present". The "past" doesn't quite encompass Wing Commander - yet -... but with Wing Commander Arena in the works, it's something we might see in the future! The amount of work implied in the press release is impressive:

The best in videogame music is now global, mobile and portable. Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced that starting today the chart-busting music from its best-selling games will be available for purchase from the iTunes Store via ea.com. Game players and music lovers worldwide can visit www.ea.com/eatrax/ and jump directly to an iMix of the music from their favorite EA(TM) game on iTunes. From Madden NFL to Burnout(TM) to Need for Speed(TM), every song that can be heard in the game can now be purchased on iTunes including exclusive mixes, non-album cuts and previously unavailable international tracks.

EA will continue to add songs, scores, themes, beats and ringtones from EA game franchises past and present including NBA LIVE, FIFA Soccer, Command & Conquer(TM), Medal of Honor(TM), NASCAR(R), SSX(TM), Battlefield and more.

I suppose we'd better download WC music now before EA tells you to take it down!

 

[Bandit LOAF]

We did clear such content with EA, once upon a time.

Great idea, I'd love to play Excite Truck to the SSX 3 soundtrack... Not available in the UK

iTunes unfortunately isn't available to the rest of the world... just to some developed countries.

Sigh

And of those developed countries with it its only available on the US network.
