Plusquam Records prowdly announces the start of the new music-on-demand portal clickatrack.com. This platform for underground music is based on the e-commerce solution mp3 • mart, developed by the Hamburg based company dot • media & consulting GmbH. The software is already successfully used by Superstition Records since 2001..

clickatrack.com offers a combined shop solution for mailorder and mp3 download.

Since a while, the music industry spends a lot of energy in finding protection systems against music piracy. But all this effords made one thing totally clear; the fact that restrictions like copy protections or criminalizing the own clients is not the right way to deal with problem of illegal peer to peer networks or copying. Rather than that, it makes a lot more sense to use the great potential of the world wide web and to prepare legal ways for downloading music and making your repertoire available through the net.

clickatrack.com is the first music-on-demand platform which is only focussed on underground music and specialized in psychedelic trance, progressive trance and ambient, hosted by the Hamburg based progressive trance label Plusquam Records.

Two different user accounts are possible. Registrated for an Standard Account, each track costs 0,99 Euro. If you sign up for an Abo Account, you buy a parcel of 10 tracks, but pay only for 9. Like this you get a 10% discount and every track costs only 0,89 Euro.

Payments by creditcard (via paypal), bank transfer, money order and cash on delivery are allowed. If you pay by creditcard, the selected tracks are immediately ready for download in the users My Account menue.

The shop works in every country worldwide, no matter if you use Windows PC or Mac.
