Information to be added or removed: State that Musical.ly (in the Clients section) is now called TikTok following its acquisition by Chinese company Bytedance in 2017.

This is also ambiguous. 7digital has a B2B operation and the direct-to-consumer download stores - which is this referring to? References supporting change:

MP4 audio

Some of the tracks at 7digital are in MP4 audio format. See for example this link. I have no idea when this option became available - can't find any news about that. I guess it should be mentioned in the article though. —  Ark25  (talk) 20:04, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I added some info (in bottom section '7digital.com' about the formats they currently sell :) Thanks Llamalady28 (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Removed all of the hidden timeline content, as it was unnecessary (they have a substantial timeline already, and this now removes all suggestive copyright violations. Thanks Llamalady28 (talk)

Made a few tweaks, and removed the tags (which I had added) after being pinged to take another look. Compared to the condition of the article at the time I added the tags, it has been vastly improved. Revent^talk 21:14, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Sourcing

Just to make it clear, the citations that I removed as part of this edit were either dead and redundant (because the same information was cited to news articles) or to blog posts by anonymous authors. While the information from those blog entries is non-controversial, and probably correct, better sourcing is needed. For general business events (i.e. we opened a new website) limited use of press releases is fine (see WP:SELFSOURCE), as long as the article is not primarily based on them, and there is enough third-party coverage to show notability. This is not to say that third-party coverage of such events is not preferable, just that a press release about something is a better source than an anonymous blog. This isn't to say that I fact-checked all of the sources, or that I am saying all of the remaining sources are 'good'... the main purpose of my edit was to add the missing metadata for the citations, and I just knocked off the ones that were obvious (because they were anonymous).
