Proud to call itself an "enabler," Supertracks offers "legitimate" digital distribution of music for a host of e-tailers. With Supertracks help, select music from EMI's catalog will be available through BestBuy.com, the various Musicland sites (SamGoody.com, Suncoast.com, MediaPlay.com and OnCue.com), TWEC.com and Virgin Jamcast, among others.

"Supertracks is committed to building a legitimate retail channel for digital music," said Charles Jennings, CEO and co-founder of Supertracks. "And I mean ‘legitimate' in the true sense, not in the ‘Sopranos' he's-a-legitimate-businessman sense."
