BRISBANE, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT)
announces the launch of its new online custom CD service, now available to
customers nationwide at http://www.walmart.com/music . The new easy-to-use, no-
download-required music service allows customers to conveniently select
individual songs from a deep music catalog that Walmart.com then places on a
personalized, physical CD sent to their address -- all at a great Wal-Mart
value of only $4.62 for the first three songs and only 88 cents per additional
song.
A unique, innovative offering unmatched by any other online music
provider, the new online custom CD service presents another convenient music
solution for customers to select and arrange their music choices and
personalize a CD for themselves, their family or friends. Also, custom CDs
offer even more ease and flexibility for customers as they don't require the
use of a CD burner.
At only $4.62 per custom CD (includes physical CD, three songs and
packaging), plus 88 cents for each additional song, customers can easily
select tunes from an extensive, multi-genre catalog, personalize the CD title
and packaging from a variety of images, and ship it to their address. Also,
customers can choose from an extensive music catalog of new releases, top
songs and albums, artists of the month, and Wal-Mart exclusives.
"We recognize music is not only important, but incredibly personal to our
customers. At Walmart.com, our new online custom CD service delivers a
convenient entertainment solution for customers to easily experience and enjoy
music in a personalized format. Also, the service is readily accessible to
customers without a CD burner or who prefer not to download music," said Kevin
Swint, Walmart.com's director of media categories.
Added Swint, "Whether customers make custom CDs for their favorite road
trip, birthday gifts for family and friends, or creative wedding favors, the
service draws from an expansive catalog of hot new music releases, rock, pop,
country, rap, R&B, and Wal-Mart exclusives to satisfy all music fans -- at
Wal-Mart's Every Day Low Prices."
