MediaNet Digital, the backend digital music service provider once known as MusicNet, and which used to power various download stores, especially for high street retailers, utilising a Windows Media based system, has announced it will provide the back end to Tesco's new digital store, including a DRM-free MP3 download offer.
The supermarket giant announced it would step up its online entertainment offer earlier this year, expanding its film, TV programme and game download offer, and moving its music service into the DRM-free iPod compatible MP3 domain. MediaNet, which changed its name a while back as it diversified into digital content other than music, will power that expanded Tesco service.
Tesco's Commercial Director, Graham Harris, told reporters: "MediaNet's fully customised service, comprehensive media library as well as their knowledge and experience have helped us to achieve our goals".
MediaNet chief Alan McGlade added: "Our aim is to help Tesco Digital deliver the right mix of content and ease of use for their customer base".
