Virgin Digital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virgin Digital is an online music store operated in the UK by the Virgin Group. It launched on September 02, 2005 in the UK, and was refreshed in November 2006, now running through an internet browser, rather than the former Virgin Digital Player. A sister company running in the US was discontinued in late 2006.

Virgin Digital offers individual tracks at £0.79 and most albums for about £6.49. Its subscription service, Digital Music Club, costs £9.99 per month. It has the singular distinction of being among the largest collected online music library, with over two and a half million downloadable tracks.

Purchased tracks can be transferred to other devices and burned to CDs. Subscription tracks are tethered to the PC (up to 3) and can be transferred to a portable music player, although this requires the premium subscription service, at £14.99 per month. Song previews are 30 seconds in the Music Store, although full length tracks are available to subscribers.

Virgin Digital has partnered with Napster and no longer sells songs independently.
