`
`American retail giant Walmart will close its online digital music store, Walmart MP3 Downloads, at the end of the month, a spokesman for the
`company said.
`"We recently notified our music partners that we've made a business decision to no longer offer MP3 digital tracks as of August 29, 2011," said Ravi
`Jariwala.
`
`"We'll continue to provide support to our customers who previously purchased digital music through Walmart Music Downloads so they may continue to enjoy
`and manage their existing WMA files," Jariwala said.
`
`The action does not affect Walmart sales of discs online, or its online music promotion site, Walmart Soundcheck.
`
`The company opened Walmart MP3 Downloads in 2003 with the goal of dominating the market with lower prices than the competition. But in the end it never
`posed a challenge to Apple's iTunes, still the dominant player.
