LOS ANGELES-Xingtone Inc., an Internet storefront for third-party content providers, launched an automated e-commerce offering that it says allows independent content owners to market and sell real-music ringtones from their Web site directly to users.
With Xingtone’s mStore builder, artists or record labels can upload ringtone clips as .wav/mp3 files, select a storefront design to integrate with their current Web site, set prices and manage their mStore through a secure client login. The Xingtone mStores include hosting, storefront, shopping cart, payment processing, immediate ringtone format conversion and over-the-air delivery to mobile phones, said the company.
Xingtone recently announced a strategic partnership with The Orchard, which distributes digital music.
