Moontaxi Media Inc., today launched Puretracks, Canada’s first digital music download service, with songs starting at CAD$0.99 each.

“Puretracks is what a download service is supposed to be – the pure enjoyment of music straight from the source”, Alistair Mitchell, co-CEO, Moontaxi Media. “Canadian consumers have told us what they want, and what they would pay for, in a download service, and we have listened.”

Puretracks, available from www.puretracks.com, features music from the 5 major record labels as well as both international and Canadian independent labels.

Puretracks launched with 175 000 songs, and expects to hit 300 000 by the end of the year. The service also features exclusive content from such artists as Coldplay, Bryan Adams, Fifty Cent, Shania Twain, Eminem, Frank Sinatra and KISS.

“Following extensive market research, we’re proud to offer a music downloading service with the international selection, unique Canadian content, high quality and great price Canadian consumers have asked for,” said Derek van der Plaat, co-CEO, Moontaxi Media. “We believe the launch of Puretracks represents a watershed moment in how Canadians purchase the music they love.”

Puretracks features Windows Media Files at 192kbps, the highest quality of any available service, and you can start purchasing music today with any major credit card.
