Amsterdam -- Free Record Shop, a Dutch music retailer, announced on Tuesday the launch of a digital music download store offering 250,000 tracks to consumers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The store will compete with existing offerings operated by retailers aligned with U.K.-based download distributor OD2; Apple, which currently operates download stores in the U.K., France and Germany, plans to launch a wider European store some time in the fall. Free Record Shop, which will offer tracks for between $1.08 and $1.46 each, said it hopes to sign deals to increase its library to 500,000 tracks by the end of the year, and also plans to expand its service into Finland and Norway.
