Wal-Mart Relaunches Online Music Store

Posted by timothy on from the 88-cents-a-song dept.

ack154 writes "The latest competitor in the paid music download business will now open its 'doors,' as Walmart begins selling songs at 88 cents online. It had recently finished a three month testing period and now will open to everyone. According to CNN, however, they don't care so much about selling music, 'Analysts have said the goal for Wal-Mart is to bring more people to its Web site.' Maybe they're taking cue from Apple in trying to sell something (iPod) else by using a music store? Articles can be found at Reuters, CNN and others." amichalo points out that this is really a re-entry, writing "The service was previously launched last December. No explanation as to the re-launch (cough-poor-sales-cough) other than the addition of exclusive artists."

    Remember, Walmart has a tendency to find music easily offensive, so don't be suprised if the song you want to download isn't available. They stock that kind of music in the same room with all the leftover pregnant Midge dolls from last Christmas.

    link That's probably how she got pregnant in the first place....listening to that devil music. ;)

    If I know Wal-Mart, 400,00 people will want to check out per hour, but their servers will only be able to hadnle 50,000 transactions in that same time period

    50000 is bigger than 40000 retard.
