Zunior
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zunior.com is a Canadian online record label and music store, started by Dave Ullrich, formerly of The Inbreds, in 2004. Based in Toronto, it features artists such as Ullrich's former Inbreds bandmate Mike O'Neill, CLARK the band, ...as the Poets affirm, The Violet Archers, Wax Mannequin and Egger, as well as spoken word recordings by Stuart McLean.
The store primarily sells digital music from independent artists, in MP3 format without digital rights management protection. Customers also have the option of downloading music files in a lossless format (FLAC) at a slightly higher price. Some artists, including Rheostatics and Wooden Stars, have also made previously-released albums available for download through Zunior. Zunior releases are normally also released in conventional CD format on other independent labels, although some albums are also released in download-only format exclusively from Zunior. The architecture of the Zunior technology is maintained by Ullrich's business partner Terry Scott.
Each month, Zunior also releases a free sampler compilation of songs by artists with releases available for purchase on the site.
