BURBANK, Calif., May 9, 2001 (ENTERTAINMENT WIRE) -- Hollywood Records is offering the entire Diffuser album, "Injury Loves Melody," as a free download in three formats: MP3, Windows Media and Liquid Audio.
This marks the first time a major label has offered a full album download in all three formats. "Injury Loves Melody" will be available in its entirety for the whole month of May. Fans can hear and download the album by visiting sites such as www.diffuseronline.com, www.windowsmedia.com, www.music.msn.com, www.liquid.com, www.launch.com, www.musicmatch.com and Rioport affiliate sites www.mtv.com and www.sonicnet.com.
Transworld's Twec.com has been chosen as the exclusive retail partner for the download. Fans who buy a copy of the CD on Twec.com will get a free Diffuser T-shirt with purchase.
The Diffuser online event coincides with the release of the band's latest single, "Tidal," the follow-up to the band's successful leadoff hit, "Karma," which appeared on last summer's star-studded, platinum-plus "Mission: Impossible 2" soundtrack.
