Electronics retailer Circuit City Stores has purchased digital music service MusicNow for an undisclosed sum, the companies said on Wednesday.

MusicNow, formerly known as FullAudio, is one of the oldest subscription services. It recently added an iTunes-like song-download store to its line-up. The company, which currently powers services from SBC Communications, Charter Communications, and others, said it would continue to serve other customers in addition to Circuit City.
