:huh: U-MYX tracks become chart eligible

Source: Music Week

 

 

Tracks released with the U-MYX tool will be chart eligible as of June 5 after the OCC gave clearance to the format.

 

U-MYX is a music format which enables music fans to make personalised mixes of tracks without the need for specialist knowledge or equipment. The U-MYX track and software is pre-installed on CD singles.

 

Meanwhile, U-MYX-enabled tracks from Lily Allen, Fightstar, The Pet Shop Boys and Rooster will also be available for download through 7 Digital.

 

Launched in September 2004, U-MYX has already been adopted by artists including Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Muse, The Killers, Hard-Fi, New Order and Robert Plant.

 

U-MYX co-founder and managing director Olly Barnes says, "We have reviewed the U-MYX download format against all of our criteria for digital formats and can confirm that it is now chart eligible effective immediately."

 

I may be a bit blonde in asking this :doh: but what does U-MYX stand for

Thought it counted anyway myself considering I've got quite a few CDs with that on it. :blink:

U Myx is a brilliant idea - I've got a couple of the singles which has the software!

I assume u-mix is just a trendy way or writting You Mix?

Sounds a brillant idea and I will be looking to buy u-myx tracks asap.

Re: Chart eligibilty! They're actually referring to paid-for downloads rather than the singles with the software.

 

From what I can make out you'll be able to pay £1.49 for a UMyx track (eg Killers - Somebody told me) and when you have it on your pc you can then load it up with the UMyx software.
