EA Recordings will deliver clips from EA's catalog of wholly-owned music and remixes to online download services, including Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes, RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody and those operated by Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Internet service.

EA said the Nettwerk partnership complements its Next Level Music joint venture with Cherry Lane Music Publishing, which signs artists and licenses EA music for television, movies and commercials. The Nettwerk agreement will focus on direct-to-consumer online music sales.
