Play it Tonight launched 2003 with a mission to offer you the best selection of dance music available on the internet. With less than 100 labels and about 1000 songs in their catalog they still have long way to achieve that goal.

Downloads are in 256 Kbps MP3 format, which I guess to be encoded with a constant bitrate.

Format Quality Price
MP3 256 Kbps $0.99

Previews are 1 minute in duration and are streamed in high quality MP3 format so you can listen while continuing to surf the site.

Help is non-existent apart from some random bits on the About Us page, which is one of the unnoticeable light grey links at the bottom of the page. Come on guys, make room for a Help, Info or FAQ link up there in the navigation! Or at least move the About Us link above the fold.

Play It Tonight were one of the very first in this young industry, so they should be applauded. I only wonder why their mission has not come through yet...

Signing a label with Play It Tonight

Very simple: Play It Tonight offers all required documents for sign-up on their site, just download, sign, and fax away. It would appear they will take anyone's music up but I doubt that.
