Bitcoin Forum

I am just wondering if anybody would pay 1 bitcoin per year to be able to download music legally, for a year. 30 day free trial.

More details please.  File formats.  Restrictions of the files.  Legally = US?

You will be able to make a playlist, and will be able to use it on most smart phones (through an application). It's legal in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, and Internationally. 30 day trial is limited to 20 downloads, once you pay your allowed to download unlimited amounts (one song every 20 seconds).

This is a streaming only service (or download to mobile only?)?

Again, file formats.  Bitrate for the audio.  Need specific details please.

Streaming & downloading, you can only download on phones that allow downloading.

Formats of files: MP3

Bitrate depends on the file, good quality though.

No, http://alldj.org covers my music needs at the moment.

How about a mining for music service - as long as I keep sending 100Mhash/s of shares, the music stream with the songs I pick keeps playing. That's the only thing you aren't allowed to do in most countries with absolutely (http://www.shoutcast.com/) free (http://dir.xiph.org/index.php) Internet radio: narrowcast one stream to one user with just the songs they pick.

If a file is being downloaded on the mobile, why is this function not offered on the computer?   Is this through a service you have set up yourself or will you be giving an account to an already established music service?

Is this just reselling another service but with BTC payment?

Good idea, but I'm trying to make it an alternative payment. Instead of credit card.

This will be for computer too. Haha. Its a setup I've done myself, with a very private accurate source.

This is the most shady reply you could have given lol

The thing is, you can't have just Bitcoins as a payment method. Very few people know bitcoins and for your business to succeed you must accept other payment options. So with don't you set it up at a price that most people are willing to pay (not only geek bitcoin users) and then come back here?

I disagree.  You will be entering competition with the big boys, stay the course Exo!, Bitcoin only services (I still don't understand what you are doing fully, but I'm sure the fact that you take Bitcoin as payment is the reason you started this 'service' lol)

OK so now think, how many people know bitcoins? From that number, how many people actually uses them (either mines, trades or buys stuff)? From that number, how many people love music enough to pay a annually amount for it?

I honestly don't think that is worth it. I don't choose services based on payment method. I choose them with base on price and quality. If OP's service has quality and is cheap I will pay him with  Zimbabwean dollars if I have to.

Again. I'm going to be using Bitcoin as option other than Credit card.

To be super honest here, I do not believe the general Bitcoin market does not purchase music in nearly any form.  I would love to see a poll.

I'm so sorry. I didn't read your other post. Well, if you have everything set up, is it hard to add bitcoin as a payment method? You have nothing to loose I guess...

I am having trouble deciphering this sentence. Can you re-word it in the form of "I believe..."?

I would pay 1 BTC a year for a service like Spotify Premium ;)

I will never not do that when I get the chanetunity.

I would if it was Spotify Premium or Grooveshark Pro.

I personally wouldn't use the service. I prefer physical CD's.

Its neither Grooveshark or that other one.

My site, but better. I'm going to be advertising on radio's and hopefully t.v. I'll let you all know when I have it ready.

This seems sketchy.

If it's real, yeah, I would pay, as long as it has every song I listen to...
Which can be a little difficult.

Thanks for your opinion. Again, I'm just asking for a community's thought on this.

I'd be willing to pay 1 to 2 BTC per year (at current value) if:

- the quality is 192 kbts/s
- the songs were downloadable on a computer (WIN/MAC)
- there was no limit (ok one every 20 seconds would be okay)
- they could be transferred to iTunes and iPhone like other mp3s
- the service had all the songs/albums I wanted (which would be in the regular range of iTunes/Amazon - nothing too unknown)
- it was legal within the EU or at least Germany

Keep us posted.

Nope.  I currently use Pandora and TuneIn Radio for all of my music needs

This sounds pretty complex, and any chain with too many links alwyas f..ks up.  I would be pretty suspicious of this myself.

1-2 BTC per year at current price sounds very reasonable :).

Few considerations:
- would include this kind of music http://nbm.im/20110718-5cr-99kb.jpg
- light-weighted, elegant desktop app, as Spotify (for some reason I'm not a fan of Adobe AIR)
- iPhone app would be a good bonus
