Walmart getting out of mp3 download business
Just got an email yesterday from Walmart, couldn't find this info at their website, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking either. For anyone who buys their mp3's at Walmart:

Re: Walmart getting out of mp3 download business
I received the same email yesterday. Not a huge loss for me I guess. I used the service to download a few songs way back but I haven't used it in ages. I pretty much normally use Amazon or iTunes for purchases now days.
