MusicCab was created for use by the Canadian major record labels for the purpose of cost-effective distribution of digital promotional music, due to the rise of digital music and the diminishing traditional physical product record pools.
ZIPDJ uses a web-based delivery system to service its members promotional music from a growing list of over 4000 major and independent record labels and digital distributors worldwide,[2] including Universal Music, Warner, Ultra, and many others from around the world.
[3] ZIPDJ provides secure online delivery for record labels, including real-time feedback and data collection.
[4][5] ZIPDJ members can legally download high-quality music in MP3 format, sometimes weeks or months ahead of normal commercial release timelines.
In 2011 through 2015, ZIPDJ was nominated for the International Dance Music Award in the category "Best Record Pool/Promo Subscription Service".
