iLike gets into the mp3 business

Filed under: Audio, Web services, Social Software

iLike, the popular social music service that took Facebook by storm, has always featured free 30-second preview clips of songs, but now they’re getting into the business of selling full-length mp3 files. Prices are comparable to what we’re used to from iTunes: songs range from 89 cents to .29. Songs that are available for purchase will have a “buy” button next to them in your profile.

The buying process is pretty easy: click, enter card info and go. Interestingly, there are “other options” links to iTunes or Amazon in the corner of the purchase screen, although they’re small. I’m not sure that iLike can compete for sale with huge players like those, but it’s starting with a built-in userbase of several million on Facebook alone. Purchases are only available on the main iLike site so far, but they’re coming to the service’s various apps soon.
