Shazam and VidZone announce fixed price mobile download service for music videos in UK.
Shazam has announced an agreement with VidZone Digital Media, supported by Vodafone UK, to launch a trial which will offer music videos and full track music for a fixed download price.
Shazam will offer Vodafone UK subscribers the opportunity to download the content from the ShazamiD app. Charges will be £1.99 (£1.69 for content plus £0.30 delivery charge) for music video downloads and £1.50 (£1.30 for content plus £0.20 delivery charge) for full track downloads.
The idea is to eradicate the kind of 'bill shock' that often occurs when a consumer downloads large file on a per-megabyte charging model.
Andrew Fisher, CEO of Shazam,said: "We believe that music lovers should be able to download music at any time, at the point of inspiration and discovery. We are delighted to work with both Vodafone UK and VidZone Digital Media to be able to offer our users music video downloads for a set price creating greater pricing transparency for consumers."
