Qtrax announces deal with Universal for free music downloads

It’s taken a few months for Qtrax to actually score a contract with one of the major labels after announcing in January that it would offer free, legal downloads of by 25 million tracks, but it looks like the company has finally succeeded in spearing itself a whale. Universal is the first major on board, joining bankrupt indie TVT, and Qtrax says the deal is for “all” of Universal’s

music. Of course, in true Qtrax style, there might not actually be a contract yet — Universal spokespeople would only confirm an “agreement,” but “declined to elaborate or to say whether a contract has been signed.” Sigh. Well, the first one’s always the hardest, right?
