Walmart Music Store

The New York Post reports that Walmart is finalizing deals with the five major labels and plans to launch its own music download service as early as November 15th.



While no pricing details are available for the new music service, The Post notes that Walmart currently sells music at a loss at their retail stores to attract customers.

Wow, everybody seems to want to get into the game. Maybe this will hurt the credibility of the recent newcomer Napster. iTunes is the established standard.

I can see it already. 49 cents at amazingly low quality and tons of DRM.

Ok, this is getting to be ridiculous.







On a side note, expect to see LimeLite's Music Store in early 2004...

Is this a joke?

Is it going to be a bunch of censored stuff, like in their stores?

Or is it going to be a load of Toby Keith hick crap, like in their stores?

Plus, does anyone who goes to Wal-Mart even know what a computer or the Internet is?

I wonder if this will be sponsored by the Handleman Company?? They are the music distributor for stores like WalMart, Target, K-Mart, etc. If so, do you think such a service would extend to these other similar stores?

So when will we be seeing a McDonald's music store? This is insane, everyone seems to be starting a music selling service now.

agreed, this is nuts. How many are we up to by now? Apple, napster, dell, sony (right?), walmart, buymusic.com... and I'm sure I'm forgetting many. Methinks there isn't room in the market for this many people.
