DatPiff

DatPiff was an online audio distribution platform that was launched in 2005. It is headquartered in Pennsylvania.[2] It specializes in hip-hop, rap, and urban music.[3] The site was founded in the spring of 2005 by Marcus Frasier.[4][5] It is owned by MediaLab AI Inc.[6] In April 2023, DatPiff announced that it was undergoing a revision, mainly as result of a major decline in the traffic the website was receiving, as well as copyright issues with many mixtapes on the website.[7]

Key Information

Features

[edit]

A key feature of DatPiff was that unregistered users are allowed to download any mixtape uploaded to the site that has been sponsored. Registered users were permitted a limited number of downloads of non-sponsored mixtapes per day. Premium paid users have an unlimited number of downloads of any mixtape. Mixtapes may be streamed by any user. Premium content may also be purchased.[8]

Users could register as either an artist or fan - the key difference being that artists upload their work to the site while fans may only listen to these works.

DatPiff had mobile applications for iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, and WebOS.
