French media giant Vivendi Universal said its online music alliance with Japan’s Sony Music Entertainment, Duet, is entering into a nonexclusive marketing partnership with U.S. portal Yahoo! Inc.

Under the agreement announced Thursday, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Yahoo (YHOO) will steer visitors to Duet, a subscription-based music service.
The service is expected to launch in the summer with streaming music, with plans to add downloading in the near future.

The on-demand Duet subscription service will offer consumers the opportunity to access a broad range of music online while respecting artists’ rights, the companies said.
