CBS Interactive Music Group debuted the redesign of MP3.com, the original online source for free legal music downloads. At launch, the new MP3.com offers more than one million complimentary tracks. The site also has begun an extensive 30 day promotional campaign online and across CBS RADIO’s 90+ music stations featuring free songs from a sampling of today’s leading artists including Arcade Fire, Britney Spears, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Morning Jacket, Jennifer Hudson, and Moby, among others.
“MP3.com has been a cornerstone of the online music movement since the early days of the Internet,” said David Goodman, President, CBS Interactive Music Group. “The time is right to build on that history with this robust content offering. In so doing, we are confident we can continue to invigorate our long-standing relationship with the music industry in a mutually beneficial way. We look forward to the many contributions MP3.com will make in that regard, and to bringing the full resources of CBS Interactive Music Group to bear in order to make a compelling product for music fans.”
