MTN has unveiled a\u00a0revamped version of its online music platform, MTN Music+.<\/p>\n

“At the heart of our endeavours into the music space is the belief that we need to partner with artists and empower them to take control over the success of their brand,”\u00a0said MTN SA chief digital officer Maxwell Nonge.<\/p>\n

MTN said all data consumed by Music+ will be zero-rated on its network, provided the subscriber has\u00a0an active data bundle.<\/p>\n

Streaming pricing will be tiered in\u00a0daily, weekly, and monthly subscription fees.\u00a0Downloading prices for MTN subscribers will be discounted.<\/p>\n

MTN said users can stream content online, or listen to songs offline via the mobile app, mobile portal, or web portal.<\/p>\n

Music+ has a number of new functionalities, including a\u00a0music library with over 670,000 tracks – 40% local, 60% international.<\/p>\n

“We believe that the revised offering will also help to combat piracy and will further bolster the live music market in South Africa,” said Nonge.<\/p>\n
