eMusic to Provide Digital Music for SIRIUS?

The Satellite Standard Group (a nice new satellite radio blog on the scene) stumbled upon a promotional page on eMusic's website that points towards who SIRIUS' digital music partner is. While no guarantee, it's an interesting discovery.

Remember that last week we caught another separate hint that SIRIUS will be partnering with Yahoo to fulfill digital music. While it's possible that SIRIUS could partner with multiple digital music providers, the logistics involved don't make it very likely.

eMusic, based out of New York City like SIRIUS, would be an interesting choice since the digital music downloads they provide are actually MP3s - therefore free of any DRM. With over 1,000,000 music files available, their library is deep enough, albeit very indie-centric, to fulfill many of the purchase requests that SIRIUS would drive. eMusic also offers a very generous trial (25 downloads for free) which is an added value to subscribers.
