Mperia

Mperia was an online music store which was founded in 2003 by BitPass, Inc. It was designed to allow independent musicians to sell their own music online.

Mperia differentiated itself from other online music stores in a number of ways:

• Artists could upload their own music directly.
• Artists could price their own music, charging users what they think each track or album is worth. Tracks can cost between US$0.25 and US$1.50.
• All tracks were in MP3 format, with no digital rights management allowed.

Mperia used the BitPass payment system for selling tracks. Artists kept 70% of each track's revenue, and were not charged by Mperia otherwise for usage.

In 2004, Mperia partnered with CD Baby to sell tracks from CDBaby's catalog.

The store is now closed.
