San Francisco -- Streaming music service imeem is quietly testing its own digital music download store, TechCrunch reported. The blog said that the company currently is testing sales of songs and full albums from some artists, with payment options including credit card and PayPal. imeem also plans to continue giving consumers the option to purchase songs from Apple's iTunes Store and Amazon MP3. TechCrunch, however, calculated that by operating its own store, imeem stands to triple its revenue from song sales. The company last week said that it would discontinue some of its social network features, such as photo and video uploads, and concentrate on its music service.
