CES 2008: FlyTunes Announces New Digital Music Service for Apple iPhone
Posted by gasusan2005 on 01/7/08 in Apple, CES, The Internet, iPhone, iPod Touch
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 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.
