Wolfgang’s Vault to launch concert download service
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 October 2009
The sometimes controversial US website Wolfgang’s Vault has announced it will be making a thousand live recordings, featuring artists like Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Dolly Parton, Hall & Oates and The Grateful Dead, available to download next month.
Some concert downloads will be available for free, though most will retail at $8.98 for MP3s and $12.98 for higher quality FLACs. An annual subscription giving users unlimited streaming of the concert catalogue will also be available.
As previously reported, some artists initially raised objections to Wolfgang’s Vault distributing recordings of their old concert recordings, questioning the company’s ownership of the copyrights in them. But as far as we are aware all previous legal claims against the service have now been settled.
