A method, system, GUI, apparatus, and computer readable media for enabling a customer to access to an unpublished media file uploaded by an artist are provided. An artist's profile may be hosted on, for example, a web site, SMS/MMS gateway, and a WAP site. A previously unpublished media file may be received from the artist based on a publish option of listed unpublished media content and may be uploaded to the user profile. The unpublished media file may be associated with the artist's account. A request to access the media file may be received from a customer. An account associated with the customer may be updated to indicate their requested access to the media file. The customer may then be enabled to access the media file. The user's account may be updated to indicate the transaction.
