MyxerTags Enables Independent Musicians To Sell Ringtones Directly From Their Own Websites Or MySpace Pages
Artists Can Make Ringtones Available Across All Mobile Carriers Within Minutes More than 2700 Artists Have Already Used MyxerTags To Share Promotional Ringtones With Their Fans DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (July 2006) mVisible Technologies, Inc. today announced that the new version of its revolutionary technology MyxerTags enables independent musicians to sell their ringtones directly from their own websites or MySpace pages. For the first time, indie artists are able to sell their original music as ringtones across all mobile carriers in one simple step, using MyxerTags’ patent-pending technology. The mobile ringtone market, while a growing revenue stream for major record labels and bigger independent labels, has been largely closed to unsigned artists and those on smaller indie labels. Myk Willis, mVisible’s Chief Technology Officer, developed MyxerTags, drawing on his own experience as an independent musician to understand the best way to serve indie artists in the mobile space. “MyxerTags helps level the playing field for indie artists in the digital age,” said Willis. “Mobile carriers do not have the time or the desire to deal with thousands of independent artists directly. Until now, these artists were shut out of the ringtone marketplace.” It takes just minutes for a musician to generate a MyxerTag, place it on his or her own website or MySpace page and begin selling. It takes less than two minutes for fans to download these ringtones to their phones, regardless of which mobile carrier they are using. Artists set their own price for ringtone sales. There are no upfront costs and no monthly maintenance fees. mVisible takes a commission on ringtone sales. "Thanks to MyxerTags, we had our ringtones live within minutes,” said Michael B, singer and guitarist for Suicide Stompbox (www.suicidestompbox.com), based in Santa Clarita, CA. “In three fast and easy steps our ringtones were available to everyone. Myxer has been a huge tool in our recent success. For indie artists, it's a huge step to getting heard. And with major mobile companies not giving the chance to us indie artists, Myxer is, no doubt, one-of-a-kind for making it possible for us to be a part of the ringtone craze." MyxerTags has been allowing independent musicians to share their music as free, promotional ringtones since its launch in March. More than 2700 artists have used the technology in the first four months, with the number of new ringtones created doubling each month. So far, more than 100,000 users have downloaded more than 150,000 ringtones from Myxer.
