LimeWire partners with The Orchard to sell their expansive digital music catalogue of more than 1.2 million songs in the LimeWire Store. The current deal brings the total number of sound recordings available in the LimeWire Store to over two million open-MP3 downloads.
"The Orchard's top flight, broad and diverse music repertoire will enrich our users' music-buying experience. I believe this partnership will help expand the digital music market for us and will equally benefit our artist and label partners," said Jesse Rubenfeld - CFO of Lime Wire LLC.
"We're pleased to support the LimeWire Store, a retail offering that protects copyrights while fairly compensating artists and labels," said Greg Scholl, President and CEO of The Orchard. "This exciting entrant to digital retail offers us a unique opportunity to connect our clients with an online audience of potentially millions of new customers."
LimeWire Store launched in the spring of 2008, selling 256kbps, DRM-free MP3s provided by partners including Redeye Distribution, Nettwerk Music Group, IRIS, and others. Its digital music offering has grown to include recordings by today's popular indie artists as well as classics from music legends. Lime Wire's music team is committed to providing participating artists and labels unique promotional opportunities with events, exclusive releases and targeted marketing.
