Max Trax was a Canadian pay television audio service that broadcast continuous streaming music on multiple channel feeds.

In December 1995, DMX Canada (1995) Ltd., a joint venture between Shaw Cablesystems (80%) and International Cablecasting Technologies Inc. (ICT) (20%), an American company associated with the similar American service, DMX, was granted a broadcasting licence from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

In September 1999, Shaw's broadcasting assets were spun-off into a separately traded company to comply with CRTC regulations, creating Corus Entertainment, DMX's new owners.

Stingray Digital, who had been operating as the exclusive sales and development agent for Galaxie since late 2007 on behalf of its owners, the CBC, officially took over as managing partner in the service upon completion of merger.
