TORONTO HMV is expanding beyond its brick-and-mortar stores to compete online with iTunes for Canadians' digital dollars.
The music retailer has launched HMVdigital.ca and says the website offers millions of tracks for download in MP3 format.
The site is available in English and French and HMV says the tracks are compatible with all digital music players.
HMV adds that the service can be accessed through any computer so that users can listen to music if they're not at their home computer.
Users can also download for free any previously bought tracks they may have lost.
Dwindling CD sales have hit the retail sector hard, with chains including Sam the Record Man and Music World closing in recent years as iTunes gained in popularity.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
