**ZIPDJ** is an online subscription-based digital [music pool](/source/Music_pool) founded in 2007, which distributes [promotional releases](/source/Promotional_recording) to professional club, commercial [radio](/source/Radio), online radio, and campus/college radio [DJs](/source/Disc_jockey), and other music industry professionals. Since 2009, ZIPDJ has been a sponsor of the CDJ Show presented by [Pioneer DJ](/source/Pioneer_DJ).[1]

## History

ZIPDJ is a spin-off of Musicab, which was in operation in Canada since November 2001. 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.

## Services

ZIPDJ uses a [web](/source/World_Wide_Web)-based delivery system to service its members promotional music from a growing list of over 4000 major and independent [record labels](/source/Record_label) and [digital distributors](/source/Record_distributor#Business_structure) worldwide,[2] including [Universal Music](/source/Universal_Music_Group), [Warner](/source/Warner_Music_Group), [Ultra](/source/Ultra_Music), 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.[6][7]

## Awards and recognition

ZIPDJ is endorsed by the music industry, recognized by the Canadian Professional Disc Jockey Association (CPDJA), and the [Canadian Disc Jockey Association](/source/Canadian_Disc_Jockey_Association) (CDJA).

ZIPDJ is notable for compiling National Club, Dance, and Urban DJ [charts](/source/Music_charts) for the countries of Canada and the United States, and is also used to compile the M.I.S. Global Dance Traxx Top 200 chart.[8] These charts are electronically compiled using data from hundreds of DJs across North America.

In 2011 through 2015, ZIPDJ was nominated for the [International Dance Music Award](/source/Winter_Music_Conference) in the category "Best Record Pool/Promo Subscription Service".[9]
