The music we offer is highly rated music in different music styles but with no authorrights and no neighbourring rights to be payed.

Our catalog is a selection of + 20.000 of the best tracks and daily growing.
A team of music experts is daily evaluating the tracks and selecting the best portfolio for you.

The service provides you with a music player that automatically connects to our music library and daily provides you with new music and shuffles this ( based on your preferences ) to be played for your customers.

A new music era has been born.

Music 1.0 where many many artists were selling in manymany local shops music of many labels was a succes and old standing value.

But the internet changed it all.

Chaos, new players and new business models were shaped and tested.
Operators and device builders wanted to bundle their offer and all were competing all.

A new music era was shaped, kicking out same long standing values and bringing in your fast moving shapeshifters.

Manymanymany (every-one-is-an) artists of manymanymany (net)labels were selling over internet sites.

A mountain of music sold by the lowest (just-one-click-away) price and this close followed by the free P2P networks.

Now Music as a Service brings Music 2.0
A social music network of the best selection on music you ( and your enviroment likes ), music with flexible rights for companies.
Music back to basics and ready to be launched again.

Hold tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride and we're ready for it...

Apella is a company that has extended its product media range with a new product that allows users to listen to a wide range of music on subscription base with no muss/no fuss and at a low price.

Some of our music managers here at Apella have been testing this system since Januari and we are for real. You'll be hearing a lot about Music as a Service this summer.

We'll be launching Music as a Service to the world in late April but right now we are looking for 100 music addicts to help us test the final revisions of the product for usability and "fit and finish".

Testers we choose for this purpose will get the system for free, and will be required to sign a non disclosure agreement. We expect you to install and use the system to capture lots of different shows, giving us comments both good and bad on your thoughts and impressions.

In order to be considered, you must have:
1)Windows XP PC (Mac version coming later- sorry!)
2)Internet connection (high speed)

If you can devote some time to this and would be interested in our program, please send an email with your name and location to "marc@musicasaservice.com" with the heading "Beta 2"

Thanks!
