Draft:M-Tunes

= M-Tunes = From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia M-Tunes is an online content streaming service. It offers streaming of over thousands songs, videos, shows & podcasts from local indie artists across East Africa. The platform was founded in 2018 by Ali Mkumbwa and Victor Muhagachi as part of an effort to help local indie artists get easily discovered. M-Tunes has around 10,000 downloads on Google Play Store. There are two versions of M-Tunes: a mobile app version that is currently available for Android devices, and a Web App that can be accessed on all devices. As of December 2020, M-Tunes has been nominated for two awards in Africa and has helped dozens of artists secure label signing and recording deals.

= Content = The M-Tunes web page instantly creates a listing of local indie music files which the user has stored on their computer or other devices. It does not mechanically duplicate or import the listing of music files. If the user prefers not to use the listing utility it can be inactivated in the preferences software application. The files created on the user’s computer can be imported to any device such as a mobile device with the use of the mobile app. Users may only import or copy files that they have legally attained, even though the user has the choice to not utilize the M-Tunes service to import or copy their content that they have downloaded from other sites illegally online.
