LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 15, 2010) - LSI - 7digital.com is leading the way into the future of digital media having already sold hundreds of millions of digital products across Europe and North America.

Established in 2004, 7digital.com is a leading global digital media delivery company based in London and operating worldwide. In September of 2009 HMV Group acquired a 50% equity stake with 7digital.

Most recently, 7digital.com's international footprint has expanded with the addition of the US and Canadian markets. "The US is a big and complex undertaking, but we believe we will grow the digital market, as these are still early days in digital music," says Vice President of North America, Vickie Nauman. "Our focus in the US is to be the partner of choice, to be flexible and to leverage our technology, international reach and music catalog." Nauman is based in Los Angeles.
Due to the deep relationships formed within the music industry and a streamlined easy to use interface, 7digital.com now has the broadest MP3 reach in the world with over 8 million tracks in sixteen territories. 7digital.com was the first company in Europe to offer all their products in high quality 320k, DRM-free MP3 format. Unlike other digital media file formats, MP3 files are portable and universally compatible across all digital media players including iPods, mobile phones, PC and Mac, PDAs and other music playing devices.
7digital.com continues to move forward forging new relationships within the entertainment and consumer electronics industry, leveraging a sophisticated suite of APIs for feature-rich partner integrations. Most recently, they've paired up with BlackBerry, Winamp, Shazam Entertainment, and Songbird to offer all new ways to access and download digital media. The new award winning BlackBerry app allows you to quickly purchase and download digital media right onto your phone and to listen via a media player in the app.
