DJTunes Funded To Acquire New Titles
DJTunes.com GmbH, a Germany-based startup running a legal music download service for club and dance music, raised €500K from the High Tech Gründerfonds to secure further content licenses.
Online for 6 months, the firm says that it has gained popularity with club djs. It differentiates itself from mainstream portals, such as iTunes and Musicload (a German rival run by Deutsche Telekom), through its depth of specialized content and its "friendlier" DRM strategy, it says. The sites search engine is pretty sophisticated and the selection of titles is pretty large, considering its a startup. The founders have ties into the music industry, which probably helped a lot.
