The Tiscali Free JukeBox platform, powered by technology firm Mercora, is available as a download to all users with a Tiscali e-mail account.
Users can browse by artist name or genre, or check out the playlists provided by other Tiscali Free JukeBox users and DJs, or access biography and image files of artists, plus podcasts.
Tiscali said the JukeBox provides a catalogue of more than 3.5 million tracks from a range of artists, from established acts to budding musicians.
features more than a million tracks to download, with prices starting from 69p.
The venture is also supported by SCF (Società Consortile Fonografici), the Italian rights collecting society acting on behalf of record producers, artists and performers.
Through an international agreement reached between the collecting societies serving the European record industry (the so called "webcasting agreement"), SCF has granted Tiscali its first trial licence enabling this innovative peer-to-peer streaming service in various European countries... where users can legally access a practically unlimited online music selection.
