Fair Pricing. Per Second. Always.

At eClassical, we believe that music pricing should be fair, simple, and make sense. That’s why we introduced a unique model: you only pay for the exact amount of music you download — by the second.

Traditional music stores often charge per track or per album, regardless of the actual length. A 30-second track might cost the same as a 12-minute one, and albums can be priced the same whether they’re 39 minutes or 82. It’s confusing, unpredictable, and rarely feels fair.

It’s like postage — paying double just because your letter weighs one gram over the limit. You’ve been there, right?

We decided there had to be a better way. So we threw out the old rules and came up with something new: per-second pricing. No bundles, no gimmicks — just pay for what you actually download.

Here’s how it works:

• The price is calculated by the second.

• Typical rates are between 0.2 and 0.3 cents (USD) per second, meaning a 70-minute album would cost around $8.40 to $12.60.

• For 24-bit high-resolution audio, rates are slightly higher — between 0.3 and 0.55 cents per second, or $12.60 to $23.10 for a 70-minute album.

No matter what you choose — a full album, a single movement, or just your favorite passage — you pay only for the time you download. It’s that simple.

Enjoy your music. Enjoy the fairness.
