Said Aaron Bradley, the president of JamBuzzer.com: “AdJams paves the way for a revitalized global music industry that will provide fans with free access to a huge selection of high quality songs by thousands of talented artists.”

For those listening to the music, they will earn “JamDollars” for listening to and commenting on the music. The JamDollars can then be used to purchase songs, downloads or other products. Additionally, listeners can convert the JamDollars to cash.

The musicians, on the other hand, can create a campaign with as little as $5 that will introduce their music to an audience of listeners around the globe. Listeners will also have a chance to purchase the song and that money would go back to the musician.

Explained Bradley: “A novel economic model based on a music currency called the JamDollar (j$) will, in essence, enable listeners to obtain free music. Fans will be able to ‘earn’ their music, without cash, while artists will realize increased opportunity for a lucrative music career doing what they love.”

JamBuzzer.com’s AdJams is already getting good reviews from others in the industry.

Said Chris Steinmetz of Stonecutter Records: “This is a groundbreaking concept that has the potential to forever change the way music is bought, sold and delivered. JamBuzzer is revolutionary in its ability to connect listeners and musicians. It has a straight forward user interface that combines music and social networking with the ability to adapt to the changing climate of the music industry due to the digital revolution.”
