Unique features offered for the first time in the US by European market leader, theBizmo include a new embeddable e-commerce widget that enables artists to sell MP3s, videos, merchandise and more, straight to fans, from any social networking page, website, or blog.

NEW YORK, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- As more recording artists continue to abandon the major record label and distribution model, theBizmo provides the only 360 degree sales solution for creators wanting to sell their content and products directly to fans.

Among the unique benefits offered by theBizmo are simultaneous dual downloads to both computer and mobile, as well as a simplified, single point of administration for multiple points of sales.

Developed by the same team that built the core engine for Groove Mobile, the world's largest and most successful mobile music delivery service.

Since its European launch in January 2008, theBizmo has operated in beta mode in the US, signing a significant number of partnerships with social networking sites, websites, artists, management companies, record labels, agencies, venues, magazines, and other companies that target and reach independent music artists and their fans.
