The online options open to lovers of Canadian music got a little broader earlier this month with the debut of AOL Music Canada, a free channel from AOL Canada dedicated to Canadian musical works. The service launched with an exclusive concert by platinum-selling artist Feist aka Leslie Feist, and will feature additional future exclusive live performances from Bedouin Soundclash, Sarah Slean, Moneen and others.

AOL Music Canada incorporates both audio and video content, the latter in the form of interviews, music videos, behind-the-scenes clips and more. Rival portal operator Yahoo! Canada launched its own paid subscription music service, Yahoo! Music Unlimited Canada, at the end of 2006.
