Imeem Acquires Snocap

16 February 2008

You know I've never sold a single track through SNOCAP. Founded by Mr. Napster (who has now moved onto his new startup, a WOW social networking site), SNOCAP has been "struggling" for a minute. It seems nobody on Myspace actually buys any of those tracks. In a world of information overload, who has time to listen to all of these things, let alone buy any of them ? Imeem I quite like. They use advertising income to pay off the labels. Apparently there is some SNOCAP fingerprinting technology that will help them in their tracking. http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/13/imeem-acquires-snocap/
