AmieStreet.com, a digital music store with a unique demand-based pricing system, announced that is has partnered with Myxer to offer its members variably priced ringtones.
By leveraging Myxer’s content mobilizing platform, AmieStreet.com is bringing its community pricing model to the ringtone market, and for the first time offering ringtones at multiple price points based on their popularity with members. AmieStreet.com is the first digital music store where members of the community drive the discovery, promotion and pricing of music. All ringtones on AmieStreet.com will start at a price of zero cents. As more people purchase a ringtone the price rises, capping at $1.99. The dynamic prices on AmieStreet.com allow fans to buy music without breaking the bank and serves as a useful tool for finding great music, often for free.
AmieStreet.com, which just announced funding from Amazon.com, Inc. in August, will use the Myxer platform to create and distribute mobile ringtones quickly and easily. Myxer eliminates the technical challenges, contractual and other administrative barriers that often make creating and distributing mobile content prohibitive. All AmieStreet.com artists will be able to sell the ringtones from their artist store, where they also sell their mp3s.
