Magnatune is an American independent record label based in Berkeley, California, founded in spring 2003.[1] It only sold music for download through its website but added a print-CD-on-demand service in late 2004 and in October 2007 began selling complete albums and individual tracks through Amazon.com.[citation needed] In May 2008, Magnatune launched all-you-can-eat membership plans. From March 2010 Magnatune dropped the CD printing service and moved exclusively to all-you-can-eat membership plans.[2] Magnatune was the first record label to license music online[3] and as of May 2015 had sold over 7,000 licenses in its twelve years of existence.[4]
