PassAlong Networks has spun off digital media service Speakerheart as its own company. The service aims to provide a independent artists an online platform to upload and sell music own their own. Participating artists can create their own track samples, set prices and design custom storefronts using the service.

The service has added a widget version as well, called Shelves, so artists and their fans can sell music from social networking sites and blogs.

Jozef Nuyens was named CEO and Brad Edmonson president of the new company. Both are PassAlong co-founders. The Speakerheart service is active, but in a private beta testing period.
