Wal-Mart is testing the waters for its online music service.

The discount retailer has launched a bare-bones Web site to try out its 88-cents-per-song service.

Other sites -- such as Apple's iTunes Music Store and Napster -- charge 99 cents per song.

Albums cost $9.44 from Wal-Mart's service.

Wal-Mart says its site has hundreds of thousands of songs.

The company says the tunes come in the Windows Media Audio format and can be transferred to portable devices, burned to a CD or played on Windows PCs with Windows Media Player 9.

Wal-Mart plans to see what customers like and don't like about the new service and then formally launch it in the spring.

The legitimate download business is getting crowded, with big names competing for customers and using different file formats. Apple's service, which was the first non-subscription site, has sold more than 25 million downloads.
