Puretracks was a Canadian online music store, which launched officially on October 14, 2003. It became a division of Somerset Entertainment, owned by Fluid Music. Puretracks had U.S. and Canadian licensing agreements with a number of music labels, and offered a large number of music tracks for purchase and download.
The majority of music was sold at 256 to 320 kbit/s MP3 files.
As of February 20, 2007, Puretracks started offering the majority of its collection in MP3 format without DRM, an approach advocated by theories such as the Open Music Model.
Puretracks shut down in August, 2013.
