Oxfam launch download service

Oxfam has launched Big Noise Music, a download service giving 10p from every track sold to the charity, powered by OD2.

It can't be long now until my Mum's on the phone to tell me she's launching a digital download service. Everyone else seems to be doing it.

Following the UK launch of Napster last week, now Oxfam has announced it is involved in a new download service. Launching on Wednesday the service is called Big Noise Music, and 10p from every track bought will go to the charity.

The service is powered by OD2, the download service provider behind many of the UK based digital music services, including those run by HMV, Virgin, MSN and Coca-Cola.

Confirming their involvement in the new service Oxfam's Adrian Lovett told reporters on Friday: "Artists will see their music help some of the poorest people in the world."
