Latinoise Version 1.0 (2000-2003)
Latinoise
from the year 2000 to 2003 became
the leading online
Latin music destination with 1
million unique visitors per month.
Ironically our success became
a problem because we had visitiors and lots of them, but they were not buying music. To
sustain 1 million unique visitors
requires a lot of bandwidth and money. Latinoise has always
been on the music labels and legal
side of the digital music industry.
With so much rampant music piracy
online and advertising rates low,
the monthly costs to sustain a
profitable high traffic music
portal became unsustainable.
Latinoise
was also ahead of its time and we had
to overcome a lot more challenges
because there was more restrictions
on portals
to license songs from labels and
there was very little content
online. Since our launch in 2000 we had digital downloads, we had live streaming concert videos and streaming music video clips. We had partneships with MP3.com, Liquid Audio, House of Blues, Mojam.com, Spun.com and Tuneto.com. Latinoise was also the only music website to provide Latin music content to Microsoft Windows Media Guide.
After 2003 I made the decision to
temporarily operate only as a CD
and DVD store and as soon as
the digital music space began
to sort out and labels released more music online. We will
then do a full relaunch of Latinoise...
Latinoise version 2.0 (2007+)
