WaTunes New Experience is coming September 28th, 2009, and will be launching with a great new set of features for the independent musician to put into their toolbox, along with a new music social network with some great interactive features. Here's what Watunes CEO Kevin Rivers told MyMusicSuccess about the new service this week...
For the past couple of weeks, I've been dishing out weekly teasers of what is coming with WaTunes New Experience. So far you guys have seen the public profile pages and the killer new video service WaTV. This week, I will introduce to you guys the new WaTunes Mobile Store, a new development in partnership with Thumbplay, a leading digital mobile music service provider. With the WaTunes Mobile Store, you'll be able to search, listen, and download your favorite ringtones, graphics, wallpaper, and games right into your phone. Working with carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Celluarsouth, now you can share music on a whole new playing field. Check out the latest 'Blueprint 3' by Jay-Z now being available as a downloadable ringtone on WaTunes.

So what does this have to do with the indie artists that uses WaTunes for digital distribution?
A lot. Through Thumbplay's OPEN Platform, we've enabled you to directly deal with Thumbplay to easily convert your songs into ringtones and making them instantly available on Thumbplay and the WaTunes Mobile Store. WaTunes Artist Kandystand quickly took advantage of Thumbplay and has their latest release "Everybody" now available as a ringtone on the WaTunes Mobile Store.

These are several great opportunities that we will be providing with New Experience. On a separate note, this Tuesday, the WaTunes current site will be fully shutdown until September 28th to begin our transition into WaTunes New Experience. I will have a basic simple placeholder in place for the site updates for contacts, blogs, etc. Please know that everything will be fully updated once we launch WaTunes New Experience.
