Music Retailer HMV to Launch Download Service

HMVIt looks like everyone and their dog wants to be in the online music download business... finally. Remember that moment back when you first learned what Napster was about? No, not the "wow, I'll never have to pay for music again!" moment, the "when are they going to start selling music this way primarily?" one. Well, it's finally starting to look like we're headed in that direction. Following the herd, HMV is releasing their own music download service, positioned to compete with Apple's iTunes. HMV Digital will be launched on September 5th, 3 days after Virgin releases their digital download service.
