                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.8

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                           WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

Corporation: DISCOVERMUSIC.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares: subject to the provision below
Class of Stock: Series A Preferred
Initial Exercise Price: $47.619048
Issue Date: August 15, 1999
Expiration Date: August 15, 2006

     THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for
other good and valuable consideration, SILICON VALLEY BANK ("Holder") is
entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
class of securities (the "Shares") of the corporation (the "Company") at the
initial exercise price per Share (the "Warrant Price") all as set forth above
and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. In the event the
Company does not repay the full amount outstanding under that certain Committed
Bridge Loan on or before the Bridge Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated June 30, 1999, the "Loan
Agreement") the Holder shall be entitled to 750 Shares. Additionally, if Company
does not repay the Committed Bridge Loan on or before October 15, 1999, Company
shall grant Holder additional shares in an amount equal to 1% Warrant Coverage
of the total amount outstanding under the Committed Bridge Loan, increasing by
1% Warrant Coverage of the total amount outstanding under the Committed Bridge
Loan, increasing by 1% Warrant Coverage for every two weeks thereafter that any
such amounts remain outstanding (the "Additional Shares"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such grant of the Additional Shares shall not be construed in any way
as Bank's agreement to (i) waive an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement;
(ii) forbear from exercising its rights and remedies if an Event of Default
occurs, exists, or continues under the Loan Agreement; or (iii) extend the
Bridge Loan Maturity Date.

For purposes of the foregoing:

Warrant Coverage is defined as: (a) the outstanding principal balance under the
Committed Bridge Loan (as of each month or partial month, as the case may be)
divided by (b) the Initial Exercise Price multiplied by (c) 1%.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.

          1.1  Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by
delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is
exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also
deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares
being purchased.

          1.2  Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as
specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in
whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the
aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of
such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of
the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.4.

                                       1
<PAGE>
          1.3  Intentionally Omitted

          1.4  Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded in a public market,
the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares
(or the closing price of the Company's stock into which the Shares are
convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers
its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public
market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value
in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing withstanding, if Holder
advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such
determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a
reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation
of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of
Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be
paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall
be paid by Holder.

          1.5  Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.

          1.6  Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company
or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new Warrant
of like tenor.

          1.7  Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

               1.7.1.    "Acquisition". For the purpose of this Warrant,
"Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company's
securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.

               1.7.2.    Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any
Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant,
and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and
property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the
record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall
be adjusted accordingly.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

          2.1  Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company (i) declares or
pays a dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are securities
other than common stock) payable in common stock, or other securities, or (ii)
subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock,
or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares
in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the
Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share
acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and
kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned
the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

          2.2  Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a
change of the number and/or class of the

                                       2
<PAGE>

securities issuable, upon exercise of conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall
be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number
and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the
Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall
include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of
the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant
to the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation upon the closing of a
registered public offering of the Company's common stock. The Company or its
successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities
of other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price
and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new
Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

     2.3  Adjustments for Combinations, Etc.  If the outstanding shares are
combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number
of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

     2.4  Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.  The Warrant Price and the number
of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if the Shares are Preferred
Stock, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set
forth on Exhibit A in the event of Diluting Issuances (as defined on Exhibit A).

     2.5  No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times
in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and
in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's
rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action
affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that
adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner than that the aggregate
Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

     2.6  Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares shall be issuable upon
exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest
arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share interest by paying a Holder amount computed by
multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

     2.7  Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and
furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth
such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company
shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the
Warrant price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments
leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     3.1  Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents and
warrants to the Holder as follows:

except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable
federal and state securities laws.

               (c)  The Capitalization table hereto is true and correct.

     3.2       Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a)

in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder (1) at least
20 days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for
such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on
which the holders of common stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining
rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (c) and (d)
above; (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least
20 days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and

the occurrence of such event); and (3) in the case of the matter referred to in
(e) above, the same notice as is given to the holders of such registration
rights.

     3.3       Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant
and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) promptly
after mailing, copies of all notices or other written communications to the
shareholders of the Company, (b) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company

other financial statements required under and in accordance with any loan

Company's quarterly, unaudited financial statements.

     3.4       Registration Under Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The

time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date set forth above.

transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee
(including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation
letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably
requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an
opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder or if there is

this Warrant to any person who directly competes with the Company.

          4.5  Notices.  All notices and other communications from the Company
to the Holder, or vice versa, shall be deemed delivered and effective when
given personally or mailed by first-class registered or certified mail, at such
