**Oxfam has launched what it claims is the world’s first charity music download 
site to raise funds.**

At bignoisemusic.com you can download from a choice of 300,000 tracks and 10p from
every pound spent on the site goes directly to Oxfam, with songs costing from as
little as 75p each.

The site is a partnership with OnDemand Distribution (OD2), the digital distributor
of music, which is providing the backend technology, licensing and billing. It already
provides digital download services for HMV, Coke, MSN and Tiscali.
