Everyone knows that iTunes is the leader in digital music sales. That's a no brainer. With digital sales continuing to rise, more and more companies are looking to start their own online stores to compete with iTunes. So far, none of them have really succeeded. But there might be hope now.
As of this morning, Unverisal Music Group will be offering it's catalog to Dada.net. Dada already was offering Song Music Entertainment's catalog. Now with Universal on board, it has the two biggest labels supporting it.
The deal is you subscribe on a monthly basis for 10 dollars. With that, you can to download 15 songs. Comparing it to iTunes, you basically get songs 11-15 for free, or get each song at 66 cents. The best part, it is completely DRM free! Once you download the song, you can do whatever you want with it. You can put it on your phone, any mp3 player, you name it and you can do it. In the next coming weeks, the company will be coming out with a mobile verison of it's store for cellphones.
The only downside I can tell right now is that you can only download 15 songs a month. Hopefully they'll work that out. Also, if you don't use all 15 downloads, they won't roll over to the next month. Other than that, it sounds pretty nice. The website's design is a little cheesy too, but for what it offers, I personally don't mind.
Check Dada out for yourself!
