Collectible Digital Music Downloads Hit Internet In Limited Supply?
The news about Simpozia.com's collectible digital downloads was well received today, but some confused shoppers wondered how a digital download sold out, and why more couldn't just magically appear like free downloads usually do?
Online, June 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In the most interesting news about online music distribution since the mp3 file. Simpozia.com today launched several digital downloads that have an actual shelf life.
What Simpozia calls collectible digital downloads are unique compilations of either numerous artists collected works, or a single artists entire box set. But these aren't your average collected works.
Simpozia goes to great lengths with artists, bands, producers and labels to find the music that their customers are buying the most. Unique digital works that have never been seen or heard, anywhere else but inside a purchasable downloadable compilation offered exclusively on Simpozia.com.
Of course, the collectible digital downloads come with some of the same stuff you can buy at itunes, but this isn't what's attracting collectors to the site.
"It's the value of the originality and the limited editions I'm after" said James Holyday, a Simpozia customer. "I stock up on the rare items with limited download offers, ussually ones with less than 100 available, those are the ones I know I will be able to sell for a hundred times my money."
"The concept is sound," says a New York auction and property appraisal firm. "The music is protected, and each sale is auditable, each item is numbered and locked to the purchaser, so I can see where the future tangible value is on unreleased and unheard works."
Since the site began it has undergone various changes and updates but has kept it's focus on offering consumers collectible digital downloads, collectible artist requested media, collectible concert productions using 3D and live streaming, and in doing so the sites popularity has taken off like a rocket.
It seems that now the site has teamed up with more artists and music labels who are looking to maximize their return on investment by holding back material that can only be offered as collectible through Simpozia.com.
The site is the only website on the market that offers a DRM system that can protect the original music from being duplicated or forged. Which means it's traceable, it's real, it exists only for one person in the world, and that person is the owner of the unique media. Unlike every other form of download that can pretend it's unique or sites that pretend to offer exclusive or original content.
Company President Randy Reaney said, "We know artists are fed up with the free distribution models, but we also know fans have been conditioned to devalue typical music. That's why we pointed Simpozia toward the unique, niche market of the delivery of online collectible digital media. We're happy to say, it's gaining huge momentum."
