Sky streaming music service to launch before Christmas with gift plan

We've talked about Sky's Spotify challenging streaming music service before but we've nabbed a few more details.

The as yet unnamed service will launch in time for the Christmas build-up with Sky securing the services of a "major label artist" to promote it.

The other interesting feature of Sky's streaming music service will be a plan to allow you to give music packages to friends and family as gifts.

Sky has made agreements with EMI, Universal and Sony and is currently in talks with Warner to complete its deals with the four major labels.
