rVibe Blog

I’ve heard that statement uttered more than once (as am sure all of our team has).  Itunes is the driving force behind online music download sales and the iPod far outsells any other mp3 player, so I’m not entirely shocked when people have that reaction.  

But what I always tell them is that rVibe is  different, rVibe is innovative, and rVibe doesn’t need to compete with itunes in order to be succesful.  The reason why I love rVibe so much is because it combines social networking and music downloading.  Instead of simply picking out a song, buying it, and listening to it…rVibe makes that process totally interactive. 

It’s very much like sharing CDs with friends.  You have a group of online friends on rVibe and talk to them just like on myspace.  You make reccomendations to them about the music you have in your own personal musical library, and if they like it enough, they simply buy it from you.  Although they are not really buying it from you, you get a reward for each song you sell…so it really does pay to have a lot of music on the rVibe software and make reccomendations!

Not only that, but all music is DRM free meaning that it can be played on any mp3 player…even an iPod!

 I would not be a member of the rVibe team  if I did not believe in the software and use it myself. 

So that my friends is why I’m working for a company that is trying to “compete” with itunes!!
