In the recent years no internet music store has come even close to challenging iTunes for the number one spot. With generally every store selling songs and albums at the same price it's Apple, with the wide-spread iPod, who collects the money. However, now Sony BMG Music and Dada S.P.A. have decided to do something different by selling song for as cheap as 66 cents.
Dada.net offers consumers from the US a limited monthly download plan for a fee of $10. The user can download 15 songs from the selections of both Sony BMG Music and Universal Music Group. According to Sony, Dada.net will also feature in the future songs and artists from other major and indie labels.
The monthly fee of Dada.net will have to be paid as a part of your cell phone bill and therefore it doesn't work on all of the operators or mobile plans. Also currently the MP3s can be downloaded only to your computer, but downloading music directly to your phone will be made possible in the future.
Dada.net is only available in the United States and Sony has not yet announced any plans to expand abroad.
