UK digital music store 7digital has announced that it's raised £4.25 million from VC firms, as part of its efforts to continue developing its service and expand to new countries, such as the US. A few days ago, fellow UK digital music firm We7, which focuses on ad-funded downloads, raised £3 million of its own VC funding to help it grow beyond its current 500,000-track catalogue and 90,000 users.
