Virgin shows passion for online music service

AS SUSPECTED, VIRGIN DIGITAL is to be launched today and Sir Richard Branson, the overseer of the Virgin group, said it will include over a million tracks and compatibility with 50 plus portable gizmos.

Virigin Dital includes a digi-music store, screaming radio, portable device management tools, and a subscription service.

Said Branson: "We worked directly with passionate music fans...and we've come up with a digital music service that...defines the Virgin energy and spirit".

The firm said that the Digital Megastore will have a million tracks for 99 cents apiece, and tracks can be burned to CDs, no problems.

It also said that the service will include a digital music management tool to master the different audio sources currently available.

The service is available only in the United States, so far. It plans to extend it later on. µ
