-mSpot, Inc., a mobile music and entertainment company, announces today the launch of its first consumer website, mSpot.com. The site features the award-winning Make-UR-Tones service, which allows users to edit, purchase, and download custom ringtones directly to their mobile devices. The service is currently accessible to Sprint and AT&T customers, and will soon be available to customers from other major carriers.
To purchase ringtones, customers first select a favorite song from mSpot's vast song collection, then employ the Make-UR-Tones intuitive editor to select up to 30 seconds of the customer's favorite part of the song. That edited cut can then be downloaded as a high-quality customized ringtone for $2.99.
mSpot.com offers over 400,000 song titles to choose from, making it one of the largest ringtone collections in North America and about ten times the catalog size of most other legal ringtone services. Songs include those from music labels EMI, Universal Music, Warner Music, Sony Music, Ingrooves and IRIS. mSpot.com also features lyrics, artist bios, recommendations, and more for music fans.
mSpot has built its reputation as an innovative mobile music and entertainment company, offering North American carriers music, radio, video and custom ringtone products for their mobile customers through products like mSpot Radio, mSpot Movies, Music Sync and Make-UR-Tones. In 2008 Qualcomm's BREW Developer Awards named Make-UR-Tones "Best Up and Coming Application."
"We've seen tremendous response over the years from customers across North America to our popular mobile music and entertainment applications," said mSpot CEO Daren Tsui. "We made this new consumer site to build on that success and make our products more accessible than ever."
According to Juniper Research, worldwide mobile music revenues will reach $14 billion in 2011. For its part, Silicon Valley-based mSpot has completed over 500 ports to mobile phones supported across 10 North American carriers and in 2008 saw its subscriber base increase to over four million customers - a remarkable 260% jump since 2007.
