Have a listen, on us
Ad-supported music site We7 has launched an on-demand music service.
The service avails 500,000 tracks from major labels like Sony BMG, as well as indie artists and music distributors. Users can access on-demand music by clicking "listen now." A short audio ad shall precede each track.
Ad revenue is split between the site, the artist and the record label. Fans can also download tracks, along with the advertisements, for consumption on iPods or other MP3 players. The songs are removed after a certain number of listens.
Paid downloads without ads, and without DRM protection, are also available on We7.
