HMV is expected to launch a new digital download app at midnight (October 17).

The high street store is looking to compete with digital retailers with the new application, which will allegedly be available on mobile and desktop devices.



The software is thought to allow customers to download MP3 files from their online store in a bid to rival popular stores like iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.

A leaked screenshot sees the supposed app being used on a tablet device, with the homescreen displaying new releases under the title 'Must Have Music'.



HMV is currently undergoing a relaunch after being pulled out of administration.

Sir Paul McCartney recently announced plans for a signing event at HMV in London's Oxford Circus on October 18 in a bid to promote his new album New, and lure customers on to the high street.
