• Purchase the FLAC file and receive the MP3 for free

London, 1st October 08 – 7digital.com, the home of MP3 downloads and the leading digital media delivery company, today announces the availability of Oasis’ ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ album for digital download pre-order.  The album will be available exclusively on 7digital.com from Sunday 5th October 08 in FLAC format two weeks before anyone else.

Customers who buy the album in the FLAC format will receive the album in MP3 format at no additional cost for use on all portable music devices on release day.

The FLAC album will contain 11 tracks and be priced at £9.99 or £1.49 per track. The latest release follows on the success earlier this year of Radiohead’s In Rainbows FLAC release on 7digital.com whereby 35% of all In Rainbows sales through 7digital.com were in the FLAC format.  

Ben Drury, CEO 7digital comments, “This is a very important release for us.  7digital.com aims to offer the best deal for consumers in terms of accessibility with MP3 music, and the best sound quality with FLAC.  By releasing this album on both formats we are offering our customers the choice to listen to their music on the device they want to.”
