FlyTunes announces new personalized radio-like music service for Apple
iPhone, other phones
FlyTunes, http://www.flytunes.fm/
iPhone mobile music service and personalized radio service
FlyTunes announced a new kind of music service, designed for WiFi and
3G-enabled mobile phones and media players, Apple iPhone and iPod
Touch included.
The idea is to outradio the (satellite) radio, by providing users with
thousands of high quality music channels that can be personalized and
enjoyed on your iPhone or other mobile phone, wherever you are,
without any limitations and fees.
And while we're still not sure just how it will work, it seems that
the idea is to stream and sync (for offline listening) the music from
your PC, something that we've already seen with Orb. We'll certainly
know more on January 25th when the new service will be officially
launched. In the meantime, you can check out FlyTunes' official
release after the break.
PRESS RELEASE - FlyTunes Inc. today demonstrated its new digital music
service for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and other portable media
players and cell phones. The FlyTunes service offers users a
personalized radio-like experience, with thousands of channels of
digital music that can be enjoyed anywhere they go, regardless of
wireless connection.
FlyTunes outshines satellite radio in a number of ways:
FlyTunes does not require a receiver or additional hardware purchase;
it works with the cell phone or personal media player already in a
consumer's pocket.
FlyTunes offers access to over 100 times more channels than satellite
radio, covering every conceivable musical taste.
FlyTunes plays everywhere, unlike satellite radio, which does not work
inside buildings, or on planes.
FlyTunes allows users to personalize their music channels. While
listening, users can promote favorite songs and flag unwanted ones
(never to be played again).
There are no setup or monthly fees for FlyTunes.
"FlyTunes bridges the massive disconnect that exists between the
hundreds of millions of cell phones and portable media players people
already own, and thousands of Internet radio stations that broadcast
every type of music they could want," said FlyTunes CEO Sam Abadir.
"From the user's perspective, FlyTunes provides an extremely easy-to-
use service that allows them to quickly get the music they want and to
discover new music."
"Because FlyTunes uniquely sits between the broadcasters and the
listener, it offers users personalized music, which has never been
possible for satellite or terrestrial broadcasters, and the ability to
cache hours of music for offline listening," continued Abadir.
FlyTunes allows users to create their own customized music channels by
searching over 20,000 Internet radio stations to find music that
matches their preferences. Hours of personalized music can be cached
to a portable media player or cell phone and listened to anywhere.
Portable devices with 3G capability can quickly cache additional
music, greatly reducing battery drain.
FlyTunes works with Macintosh or PC computers, and will be widely
available on January 21, 2008 at the FlyTunes.fm web site. The company
is providing credentialed press with preview accounts at the CES show.
FlyTunes works with all Apple iPods, including the iPhone, and iPod
Touch, Microsoft Zune, and all other popular media players supporting
MP3 files, as well as multimedia-enabled cell phones.
