HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Georg van Handel (CEO) and Chris Honetschlaeger (President) with BETA Records, LLC, announced today that they will partner with Javien Digital Payment Solutions, Inc. to provide a complete solution for the sale of music, merchandise, and other content from their artists within BETA’s upcoming social music community. The micropayment aspect of Javien along with its comprehensive feature set and global payment processing will facilitate the transactions needed for BETA’s growing MP3-based catalog of independent music from around the world.
