Skype signs ringtone music deal with Warner Music

Warner Music will deliver ring tones from its vast library to Skype customers, under a deal announced today.

US customers of VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) provider Skype will be able to download ring tones culled from songs by Warner artists such as Madonna, Green Day, Mike Jones and D4L. The snippets will cost $1.50 each.

Skype already offers ringtones from the Ministry of Sound etc, but this marks the first deal with a major. And if ringtone sales to VOIP customers is anything like as polular as ringtone sales to mobile customers, this could be big for both Skype and Warner.

They'll be available at the Skype store in a couple of months - first out big promo on Madonna tones.
