New Seller Focused Music Service Launches

BurnLounge, now in public beta, allows users to set up their own digital music stores and offer buyers music from major and independent labels.

A new online music service was announced yesterday which promises to allow music lovers to create their own digital music stores and sell their favorite music to consumers. The service, dubbed BurnLounge, is in public beta now.

BurnLounge, the company said, provides users with proprietary software and a large catalog of music from major and independent record labels, giving users the ability to create and operate their own digital music stores. Three different levels of seller services are available to provide greater ecommerce opportunities. The service also offers a community chat function which operates openly with buddies on major IM systems like AOL and Yahoo.

“We are thrilled to launch a service that enables music fans to have their own online ‘corner record store’ and promote the music they love,” said Ryan Dadd co-founder, president and COO of BurnLounge, in a statement. “BurnLounge allows a fan to have a fully-functioning download store without knowing anything about site design, credit card processing or licensing. All they need to know is what music they love and then tell their friends about it.”

“BurnLounge is a great promotional tool for artists and labels alike, providing a platform for them to compensate devoted fans for promoting music to their friends,” added Stephen Murray, co-founder, president of entertainment and CCO of BurnLounge. “We are excited to offer a new means for emerging and established artists to meaningfully connect with more fans.”

Don McCabe at 9:43pm 6th March 2006 Guys this is incredible. The digital music revoulution is upon us. Everything is going digital. In two years cd's will be obsolete. Just try to go in Best Buy and buy a portable cd player, you might have one to choose from. In the near future you will be able to download your favorite movies off your Burnlounge site, and make money everytime something is downloaded. WOW, you want to find out more, click on to my site or email me at donwmccabe@yahoo.com
Tammy Barnes at 2:47am 6th March 2006 BurnLounge - one of the first ONLINE FRANCHISE opportunities, and foreseeably, the BEST - low, low start-up, sky is the limit return on investment - I jumped in with 4 feet, mine and my husbands. We really enjoy talking about music and now BurnLounge comes up in every conversation. This is big - don't pass it up, it would be like passing on McDonald's stock when they first opened.

Stan at 1:45pm 1st March 2006 Great article about BurnLounge. Glad I stumbled across it. I'm a BurnLounge retailer at the Mogul level and I'm currenlty building a team of retailers who are excited about this opportunity and motivated to make it work. I've created a couple of "squidoo" lenses that should answer a lot of your questions about the company and the opportunities it offers. Go to http://www.squidoo.com/burn_lounge and http://www.squidoo.com/burnloungefaq and http://www.squidoo.com/burnloungedotcom for info (each one is different so check them all out). When you're ready to dive in, go to http://www.eBurnz.com to sign up. P.S. Right now I'm giving away top level domain names to help new moguls in my team promote their businesses. Check out my squidoo lenses for more details and act fast before they are all gone!
Mike at 11:27pm 19th February 2006 BurnLounge is amazing.
I have spread it to all of my friends and I am just waiting for it to BLOW UP all over the country. Get in early and you can make some serious money.

fungku--What do you mean by your own music? You can personalize your personal store page if that's what you mean. Also, unsigned bands are going to be able to sell their music on here for a .50 to .60-cent profit per song download. Best of all, it doesnt cost the bands a dime to sell their music!

Contact me for more info if you want to get involved on a once in a lifetime oppurtunity!!

Don McCabe at 2:05pm 17th February 2006 I am in digital music promotions.
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 8:12am 17th February 2006 Who are you Don?
Don McCabe at 11:48pm 16th February 2006 Hey' you liked the commercial, contact me thru the site and get in!
fungku at 3:27pm 16th February 2006 i just watched the commercial too. doesnt look like you can actually sell your own music?
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 2:40pm 16th February 2006 I just watched the "commercial" and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Its like a Myspace.com of music. Any idea who is funding this site?
fungku at 2:38pm 16th February 2006 Wow, i think thats very cool. It allows people like my good old buddy ChazzRokk to distribute their music digitally instead of traditional CD sales. I can definitely see a market for this in the undergound music scene.
Don McCabe at 1:35pm 16th February 2006 Check it out, watch the commercial, it's awesome
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 10:08am 16th February 2006 This definately sounds cool, but is there a market for it? Sounds very similiar to MP3.com. There are too many music stores out there now IMO.
