MANILA, Philippines - Music-loving mobile subscribers now have more affordable access to the widest library of original and licensed digital music, through the All Music and Hits Rental offers of Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart).
Through Smart’s mobile site m.smart.com.ph, Smart Buddy subscribers have access to a vast catalogue from where they can download and play the music they want, wherever they are, directly via their handset. There are now more than 100,000 songs from major record labels in the catalogue, available in various formats such as caller ring back tune (CRBT), true tone and full track.
“We are excited to continue offering value-added services that are intuitive of our subscribers’ evolving lifestyle — in this case, the preference to acquire and play music via mobile. These new bundled offers allow us to continue turning the mobile phone into not just a communications tool, but also the leading channel for entertainment for our subscribers,” said Danilo Mojica, head of Smart’s Wireless Consumer Division.
With All Music, subscribers can download and own a set of full track, true tone, and ring tone/polytones at affordable bundles that cost as low as P15 — which provides one full track, one true tone and two ring tones/polytones. Another variant costs P30, which offers two full track, two true tones and four ring tones/polytones. For the music-lover looking for the best deal, the P60-package provides four full track, four true tones and 12 ring tones/polytones.
For more affordable bundles, Smart Buddy subscribers can also avail of Hits Rental, which allows them to choose and download a set of songs that they may have only for a limited number of days. The offers start at as low as P5 for a song which one can store and play until it automatically “expires” and becomes disabled on the seventh day. Another variant costs P15, which offers five songs that one can have and play for 15 days. The last variant costs P30 for 15 songs that will play for 15 days.
With Hits Rental, subscribers can affordably try out the newest and most popular songs — allowing them to discover hot music properties without having to pay for their full price. If they prefer to keep the rented songs, subscribers may opt to renew the songs before the expiration day or to buy the expired songs at a discounted rate of P20.
