What it doesTurnItUpMedia is an ad-based media, mostly music, distribution system. The company offers what they call Tri-play, a service model in which users can freely enjoy legal downloads after watching short video ads, no longer than a minute in length. These ads permit users to access a range of genres. After users fill out their registration info and a quick questionnaire, they’ll be able to search for music and add it to their download queue. Downloads are activated after you’ve watched the advertisements. Tracks on TurnItUp come in both DRM free and DRM flavors. The revenue collected from the ads is shared with artists and musicians who distribute their songs on the site. Registration is required.In their own words“TurnItUp Media started out in 2003 as MediaXcess. The vision then was the same as it is today: to create a system where individuals can easily and legally download media files for free. This was the start of what we call the “Ad-Supported” model. The market was obviously not ready for this model, so the project was put on hold as we watched the digital world try the 99cent download philosophy.

Fans will be able to access their favorite songs legally, and they don’t have to worry about DRM.
