> Our unique Stream2own model splits the cost of a digital download into 9 plays.

> Plays start off cheap when you're discovering and as you fall in love with a song, you come to pay the full price.

> There's no transition out of Resonate to buy a song or album. Purchase it directly, or just keep listening.

> Resonate pays artists directly and per-play. For listeners, the overall cost is similar to that of the average monthly streaming subscription.

I'd be interested in seeing how the 9 plays number was derived, or a deeper discussion or article more than what's on the linked page. This is an interesting model, I hope it works out the way the creators intended.

TBH I just liked the number 9. Subtle Beatles reference I guess. But the model also reflects the process of falling in love with an artist or an album, meaning the payout to the artist goes up the more I repeat listen.
