Wal-Mart undercuts competitors in online music sales

Wal-Mart is using its size to undercut competitors in the online music sales business according to this Wall Street Journal story (subscription required). Of course, there are slim or no margins in online music sales and Apple's success belies the fact that it is only using the sales as a way to sell more iPods.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced it has begun offering music downloads on a trial basis at walmart.com, selling songs for 88 cents apiece.
