Between Airtel Wynk And MTN Music+, Music Lovers Now Have A Choice

Nigerians love for music cannot be quantified and Nigerian telecommunication companies are taking up the gauntlet by providing lovers of music an avenue to stream and download songs of their taste. With the recent launch of Aitrel’s Wynk in addition to the existing MTN Music+, it is eureka for music lovers, BABAJIDE OKEOWO writes. In the not too distant past, the right to online music streaming and download was an exclusivity of Spinlet, a Finnish mobile music download company with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria and Cape Town in South Africa. Having seen the potential and available market, Spinlet launched in Nigeria in May, 2011 affording music lovers the opportunity to download their favourite music, though, at a price. For example, a full album of M.I’s latest album, The Chairman sells for N1, 500 on Spinlet, a price music lovers claim to be too exorbitant while the same album goes for less than N700 on MTNMusic+. ‘Godwin’ a latest single released by Mavin Record’s sensational act Korede Bello sells for N125 on Spinlet, while you can download the song for free on MTNMUSIC+ by just having a MTN sim card and registering as a user on MTNMUSIC+. For Sola Durotimi, a music buff, his love for music is unquestionable. As an upward mobile young man, the need to carry his music on the go is something that had posed a problem because of the high cost of buying music online. According to him, I always like buying music online but, the cost of buying songs online is eating deep into my pocket. All that, is however a thing of the past, with the advent of online streaming and music download platforms from telecommunications companies. MTN MUSIC+ to the rescue For music lovers like Sola Durotimi, MTN Nigeria, a leading telecommunications company has made a platform available for music downloads for free or a token. The platform is MTNMUSIC+.
