Press Release Summary: Seattle start up launches social music web site with instant online playlisting and full streaming audio.
Press Release Body: Seattle, WA September 23, 2008 - The unique NexTune difference includes its exclusive MoodMaker(tm) and SmartMix(tm) technology allowing users to instantly create and listen to full streaming customized playlists online. When combined with NexTune's desktop software called Nexus, users can share their customized playlits with other users of the NexTune community.
Users can easily create MoodMaker(tm) playlists by selecting the mood and genre of the music they want or with NexTune's SmartMix(tm), users can enter one or more of their favorite artists. With either of these online playlist tools NexTune's proprietary technology compiles a list of similar songs and artists. Unlike other playlist technologies, NexTune goes the distance by arranging the songs into a flow based on tempo and music style to create a listening experience that rivals any playlist technology currently available online or otherwise.
NexTune's Social Network website is robust and full featured. Members can populate their online profile with their SmartMix(tm) or MoodMaker(tm) playlists plus they can upload any of their iTunes or MediaPlayer playlists. NexTune provides a high degree of social interaction by letting its members send songs and playlists to members inside the NexTune community and to their friends who are not yet NexTune members.
Upon entering www.NexTune.com you are immersed in a unique and powerful music experience. NexTune offers its members full streaming of millions of songs and is tightly integrated with the AmazonMP3 store for users to download and purchase DRM free versions of the songs featured on the site.
Michael DuKane, president of NexTune describes the NexTune experience, "We wanted to create an ideal online environment where users can discover new music experiences, share these music experiences and more importantly own the experience through the legal purchase of DRM free digital music. Similar to a traditional music store where users can listen to new music, learn about new artists and then make informed purchases, we strived to create a dynamic music environment that promotes the sale of digital music. We chose to align NexTune with AmazonMP3 because we believe we offer our users an enhanced Amazon music experience. Our PowerSearch song locator gives our users the ability to find songs within the Amazon MP3 store by genre, tempo, mood, vocals, music style and music era."
NexTune celebrates its launch with a promotion that rewards its members with cash prizes based on activities completed within the community. NexTune is lining up artists and bands that have expressed interest in creating custom profile pages and promote their new releases. Anyone can join for free and begin uploading and downloading playlists within seconds.
