San Diego - Michael Robertson, the founder of the original MP3.com, on Thursday announced the launch of a new digital music venture, AnywhereCD, which will sell albums as 192K MP3 downloads and include a CD copy for an additional fee. At launch, the service is offering albums from artists including Madonna, Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Shins and Metallica -- a band that has been reluctant to release its songs digitally. Album prices at AnywhereCD start at $9.95; Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" is selling for $11.95 as an MP3 album, and $14.95 for an MP3 album with CD copy.
