HMV also said they would move all their digital downloads into the hmv.co.uk store, rather than the current hmvdigital.co.uk store. This change will allow UK customers to buy physical CDs and digital CDs from the same site, a move never before seen by such a large retailer.
Among the over one million DRM-free tracks included at launch will be EMI's full catalogue and music from independent music labels. HMV already has 3 million tracks online.
The tracks will be in MP3 format with 328kbps bitrate. The prices start at 79p, which is cheaper than Apple offers for the same music.
