Warner Music Group posted a 385% wider quarterly today due to soft music sales and confirmed that it would cut about 400 jobs. The world’s fourth largest music company reported a fiscal second-quarter net loss of $27 million compared with a loss of $7 million last year. Revenue declined 2% down $784 million from $796 million.
