MPP Power Global Music Site with V2 Music

V2 Music has selected MPP to power its global music download and merchandise site (www.v2music.com). V2music.com is a great destination for music fans to experience the sounds of artists including Stereophonics, The Rakes, Paul Weller, Elbow and new signings Skin, Duels and Hundred Reasons at the click of a mouse. The new shopping facility, which enables music fans to purchase digital music, physical merchandise and mobile products using one integrated shopping basket, uses MPP's unique iShop product.

Beth Appleton, V2 Music's Head of New Media Manager and Business Development said: "V2 wants to provide the best for music fans visiting V2 Music.com with regards to access to our music, interaction and functionality. The site is truly global in terms of language specific destinations with local information and content and the new integrated shopping facility gives music fans the opportunity to purchase music at the point of discovery."

Paul Johnson, MD at MPP comments: "We are naturally delighted to be working with V2 Music once again after the success of the Paul Weller site. MPP are the first company in the world to be able to offer this complete solution, which gives music fans everywhere the convenience of simply purchasing physical, digital and mobile products. MPP is looking forward to continued success with V2 Music."

About iShop
The iShop provides a complete physical and digital store solution. Using an API tookit, the site has been completely embedded in the original V2 site and is designed to its look and feel. iShop is equipped with search, navigation, basket and checkout tools for the purchase of any type of physical, digital, mobile or subscription based product or service. This means V2 Music fans can add any combination of digital products (video, CD, music download, ringtone or fan club membership, etc) and pay for them all in one simple checkout process. MPP will deliver the music or video download to V2 consumer's desktop, a ringtone / game / wallpaper to a mobile phone, a digitized video clip to the fan's email inbox, subscribe the consumer to an online premium content service and enable delivery of merchandise, such as a CD, through a letterbox all from one transaction. Products can be purchased using a variety of currencies and languages, providing a truly global solution. iShop also comes in a version which is fully designed, built and hosted by MPP.

iShop provides all payment, shopping cart and physical/digital content management modules. V2 staff manage iShop products from the MPP Management console, gaining access with a username and password.

Purchase is simple and future shopping is encouraged with a 4-digit PIN system making one-click transactions possible and repeat transactions in seconds. The fast-buy functionality enables music fans to simply click a "buy now"
button on the site, and for the product to be purchased from their account. No forms to fill in, no credit card details to add, no text to send. One click and the product is purchased and made available for download, delivered to the mobile device or alerted to suppliers regardless of which country they are located in, to deliver merchandise and other physical products.
