More downloady things, and independent record shop chain FOPP has announced they will launch a new download service at the end of the week. The service will be powered by London based download provider 7Digital, and will offer music fans access to half a million tracks and a thousand videos. As you'd expect, the FOPP service aims to offer particularly good access to independent music, and will offer tracks as MP3 downloads where labels allow.
Confirming their involvement in the venture, 7Digital top man Ben Drury told CMU: "Our unique download service for independent retailers, which is supported by all the major labels, is a great way for brands such as FOPP to compete in the digital world. We're excited to have FOPP, the most innovative and exciting of high-street retailers, on board."
