woolworthsWoolworths has overhauled its online download store to coincide with its decision to stop selling CD singles in-store.

Woolworthsdownload.com includes music, game, video and mobile downloads and replaces the former music-only .co.uk site.

The company said every major music release will be available from a catalogue of over 1.2m tracks, while over 1,000 films and TV shows can also be downloaded.

Jim Batchelor, commercial director at Woolworths, said, "Digital downloading is now the true customer choice for listening and purchasing single music tracks. CDs are alive and well for album sales, but unfortunately the physical singles market is in terminal decline."

"Our customers are now starting to embrace the world of downloading which is why we feel the time is right to launch our new digital site."

For the first week the top ten music tracks will be 59p, with the top ten albums at £6.99. Regular tracks start at 77p, with videos from 97p and mobile content, such as ringtones and games, from £1.50.
