Reuters

Platinum Entertainment Inc. said Wednesday it is developing a Web site where
customers can download CD-quality music to their computers and create
customized compact disks at home. The news sent Platinum Entertainment's stock
up more than 15 percent. In was up $1.50 at $13.375 in afternoon trading on
Nasdaq. To make their own CDs, users need a CD recorder and software -- which
they will be able to order from Platinum Entertainment's Web site for about
$200 -- but they can also have their customized CDs mailed to them. The
service is expected to be in place in the third quarter. Prices will be
comparable to retail CDs, a spokesman said.
