IMVU Inc. announced the launch of IMVU Music which allows users to discover and share their music in a social 3D environment. Unlike existing virtual worlds and online music services, IMVU enables members to buy songs, create playlists, and listen to them with other IMVU members. Over the last four years, the IMVU community has grown around the use of online three dimensional characters, called avatars, to meet new people from around the world.

The new music service is the result of IMVU members’ requests to have their 3D virtual rooms seem more like their real world apartments or homes, where they can play music they choose to set a mood and have fun with their friends. IMVU members can now enjoy music they choose and hang out with friends in their own private room or go to public rooms, where members can share their playlists, discover new artists and make new friends.

IMVU members can also purchase DRM-free downloads of songs from the extensive available catalog provided by IMVU so they can listen to those songs on a wide range of devices, including iPod and MP3 players.
