Closure
Virgin Digital originally operated in both the United Kingdom and United States. The US store was discontinued in late 2006, and this website now redirects to Napster.
On Friday 21 September 2007, an announcement appeared on the Virgin Digital UK website stating the following: "Dear customer, we regret to announce that the Virgin Digital service is due to close. We will be taking no new customers from today, Friday 21 September."
The UK store finally closed on Friday 19 October 2007. Virgin have stated on their website that the decision to close Virgin Digital was so that the company could concentrate on offering digital media through Virgin Media, which has its own music store operated by OD2.
