Spinlet was a digital media company, focusing on Afro-Centric content. Spinlet’s primary service was music streaming and downloads available globally via web browsers, and the Spinlet app on iOS and Android. The Spinlet platform provided the largest music catalog of licensed African and International content from content licensers such as Content Connect Africa, Africori, Symphonic Distribution, TuneCore, La Cupla Music, Deliver My Tune, and many other indies. It allowed users to purchase, listen, share and discover music while offering integration and storage of the user's music library on their mobile device. In October 2015, the Spinlet app had been downloaded nearly 2 million times.

Spinlet has been appointed by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) as Nigeria’s first ever manager for ISRCs – the International Standard Recording Code, an essential digital monitoring and revenue tracking tool. In 2014, Spinlet acquired a Nigerian Communications Commission license that will allow it to sell value added services such as caller ring back tunes and short message services in collaboration with Telcos as a means of providing more avenues for content creators/owners to get paid for their content.
