It is time to say goodbye to your traditional physical media in entertainment such as CDs as Gajah Media International (GMI), a media content aggregator and distributor based in Singapore launches an exciting web online service that looks set to blow your minds away.

Known as the Geetune.com, this online music subscription service is the first of its kind in Singapore and partners with major record labels such as Universal Music, the largest music label in the world. A Geetune subscriber will immediately be able to download and listen to the latest top hits from the Geetune website. The site currently has over 150,000 music tracks and is increasing at an average of 2,000 tracks per day as Geetune looks to offer at least 200,000 music tracks by the end of 2008. The service offers unlimited music media downloads for an affordable subscription as low as S$12.00 per month or S$120 per year.

The online music market has changed dramatically over the past eight years. Previously, peer to peer (P2P) was the primary conduit for unauthorised media downloads. Since then the world has seen the rise and growth of legal digital music offerings through various music content providers such as iTunes, Amazon.com, Rhapsody and Napster. However, Singaporeans are not able to enjoy these services due to licensing issues.

Now, with the advent of Geetune.com, music lovers in Singapore have the utmost freedom to select the music provider or subscription channel that fits their lifestyles and preferences. Best of all, Geetune subscribers can download any music track without limits, along with a whole host of music community-based features. Hence consumers are able to enjoy a constantly refreshed and updated database of unlimited music all year round and interact with similar minded music lovers, for only the price of less than 6 CD music albums.

“Physical media in entertainment like CD, DVD and printed publications is becoming more obsolete as digital technology and high speed internet is taking centre stage in delivering high quality products to the consumer’s doorstep.” said Mr Lawrence Wong, CEO of Gajah Media International Pte Ltd, explaining his strong belief in the Geetune model.

“Besides using non-eco friendly material, contents on these physical media go out of date very quickly and then it either just takes up unnecessary storage space, or trashed and contributes to the landfill. What a better way to save money than to get more for less by using an unlimited service like Geetune. If you buy an average of one CD every two months, it is a better way to control cost by using a subscription service and get far more selections for the same amount of money,” added Mr Wong.

Geetune is also designed to give consumers a better shopping experience as compared to a brick-and-mortar music retail store. Consumers can browse the site with our ultra fast music previews and try out different genres of music in the comfort of their own homes. And better still, they can do it 24/7.

The layout and interface of Geetune is at the same time formatted like a magazine where subscribed members will receive daily and weekly updates of new music to try out. Besides the easy browsing, Geetune subscribers can look forward to downloading any music tracks without limits. Very much like a popular buffet dinner at the restaurant, Geetune offers consumers value-for-money with the huge genre of songs and artistes available for selection and download.

Geetune has also incorporated the lifestyle aspect onto their site by offering a community section, where members can create their own personal blogs and partake in a common forum for discussion. In addition, members can look forward to more Web 2.0 functionality in the future such as customising their own personal web pages to suit their style and personality. There are also plans for an artist wiki and user-generated fan groups in the upcoming months.
