Editing Netlabel (section)

==History==
Online music groups date back almost as far as the history of personal computers, and share close ties with [[video game]]s and the [[demoscene]]. Early music groups released music in [[Module file|MOD]] formats, typically as part of a [[music disk]], which often included a MOD player, visual effects, and textual information.

Netlabels began to branch out from the [[tracker (music software)|tracker]] scene when the lossy [[MP3]] file format became popular in the late 1990s. Some are still dedicated to [[electronic music]] and related genres, though this is rapidly changing and the quality of downloads are getting higher with the use of [[FLAC]] downloads offering CD quality music. {{Citation needed|date=November 2010}}

Most of the original netlabels have now ceased operations. Only a few of the originators of the movements are still currently active, and releasing in the same format, like Eerik Inpuj Sound, Upitup Records, 50/50innertainment Records, Kahvi Collective, Bedroom Research, Acroplane and Phonocake.
