MyMusic.com.ng is a commercial music download service that aims to provide a legitimate means of digital distribution of Nigerian music. It was founded by three Babcock University alumni; Damola Taiwo (COO and co-founder), Taiwo Ogunsola (CEO and co-founder) and Dolapo Taiwo (CTO and co-founder).
The service is presented on both mobile and web platforms and features multiple payment methods like the direct airtime credit billing, some of which are catered to deal with the unique challenges of the Nigerian market which is largely a cash only society.
The service aims to help reward Nigerian artists for their creative work and reduce piracy.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been reported to be in talks with stakeholders to propose a digital copyright piracy bill to the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria. The bill, called the Nigerian Copyright Act, will impose strict sanctions on digital copyright offenders while aiming to give content owners what is rightfully theirs.
MyMusic is available on desktop as a full website with scaled up functionality, and as mobile website for smartphones and advanced feature phones. Supported devices include Symbian, Windows Phone, BlackBerry OS and Android OS. Mobile apps are also available for these devices.
The web platform provides the user with the opportunity to download tracks and albums, create playlists and download songs from playlists as well as register to manage their profile. Payment can be made globally with a credit card or through mobile airtime credit.
The mobile platform is deployed in what looks like a more simplified interface and features a music discovery and download process that seems effortless and straightforward. Users can pay globally using their mobile phone airtime credit though the global telco billing. Within 2 touches of a button, users can discover, pay for and download music.
