Mperia is an online music store which was founded in 2003 by BitPass, Inc. It was designed to allow independent musicians to sell their own music online.
Mperia differentiates itself from other online music stores in a number of ways:
- Artists upload their own music directly.
- Artists price their own music, charging users what they think each track or album is worth. Tracks can cost between US$0.25 and US$1.50.
- All tracks are in MP3 format, with no digital rights management allowed.
Mperia uses the BitPass payment system for selling tracks. Artists keep 70% of each track's revenue, and are not charged by Mperia otherwise for usage.
In 2004, Mperia partnered with CD Baby to sell tracks from CDBaby's catalog.
Statistics
As of March 2005, Mperia currently has over 250,000 tracks from over 20,000 artists (including CDBaby artists).
