While digital revenues are growing at Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG), the gains in that area were not enough to completely offset the FY07 2Q net loss of $27 million, or 19 cents a share, compared with a loss of $7 million, or 5 cents a share, a year earlier. Meanwhile, the quarter’s total revenue of $784 million decreased 2 percent from the prior-year quarter, or 5 percent on a constant-currency basis.
