Ecommerce: GetMedia

Selling music over the internet.

Microsoft & a Silicon valley startup have teamed up to bring e-commerce technology to those stations with web-cast via Windows Media Player.

Enable Radio stations to generate revenue on every CD sold from their site.

How it works:

Dial up a radio station's home page displaying a song title, artists name and album name as the station is playing them. Hear the song you like and decide to buy it immediately by going through a standard ecommerce transaction. If you hear it on the car radio, when you get home, dial up the webpage and check the playlist - it carries the last 10 songs played. GetMedia handles all installation, orders and customer service on behalf of the radio station and the station receives a percentage of revenue from music sales.
