MUMBAI: Agent155 Media Group, Inc., a provider of multi-media content management tools providing exposure, networking and collaboration opportunities to Fashion, Performer, Art, Sports, Writer, Music, Film Categories and Agencies worldwide, today announced it has begun development of its music download service.

According to a recent Apple press release, its iTunes Music Store has sold over 10 Billion Songs. "Clearly, downloading music legally is now in the mainstream," commented Christopher Martinez, CEO of Agent155 Media Corp. "The success of the iPhone, iPod, iTunes, and iPad and similar devices has launched a new era of music distribution."

Musicians will soon be able to upload and offer licensed downloads of their music to fans worldwide for a per-download fee of around .99 cents per song. The revenue will be split between the artist and Agent155 Media Corp., with the musician to receive approximately 70%. "Musicians who have not yet been discovered have an enormous opportunity to get their songs out there and start creating a real buzz and generate sales," stated Martinez. "We're all about a new digital revolution. There are multitudes of sites selling music, the problem is it's all the same stuff. New, undiscovered, talented musicians lack digital distribution outlet's."

According to The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), individuals in the U.S. and Europe legally downloaded more than 4 Billion tracks in 2010. IFPI estimates that digital music revenues were $4.6 Billion in 2010.

"Agent155.com is putting the power into the musician's hands," added Martinez.
