Wal-Mart Unveils Customized Music CDs

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is now offering customized music CDs for its online customers. The world’s largest retailer launched the new service Tuesday.

Like other companies, the Bentonville-based Wal-Mart already offers customers music they can download at their home computers for a fee. Customers with the proper technology can burn those songs to a CD.

Now, customers can go to the company’s Web site and select songs from a catalog of more than 400,000 choices, including rock, pop, country and new releases.

“We recognize music is not only important, but incredibly personal to our customers,” Kevin Swint, Walmart.com’s director of media categories, said in a news release. “The service is readily accessible to customers without a CD burner or who prefer not to download music.”
