PassAlong.com Music Download Store Now the Largest on eBay

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- PassAlong.com, the innovative online music site from PassAlong Networks, announced today that it is currently the largest store on eBay based on active listings (see the eBay leader board at http://pulse.ebay.com/).

Launched on eBay in September 2004, PassAlong is a digital media pioneer, and the first to offer downloads from all major record companies on eBay, as well as the first digital music download store to offer PayPal. With its innovative Passing-and-Points(TM) program, PassAlong provides consumers with reward points for sharing their favorite songs with friends. By passing songs to friends and family via email or Instant Messenger, users can recommend songs from their music library and earn points for each music recommendation that result in a sale.

In addition to being the only eBay store to offer digital downloads from the major labels, PassAlong frequently runs special promotions that pair digital music and media players, usually centered around popular new releases. A current promotion, beginning June 29th at 1 PM EST through July 6th at 1 PM EST, is a Creative Zen Micro pre-loaded with TheFutureEmbrace, the debut solo project from former Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, released last week.

"PassAlong is committed to expanding its exciting music promotions for the eBay community," said Dave Jaworski, founder and chief executive officer of PassAlong Networks. "We see PassAlong as a bridge between musical artists looking to tap into the eBay community."
