imeem Mobile’s New MyMusic Feature Helps People Enjoy Their Music Anywhere
SAN FRANCISCO – February 24, 2009
– imeem, the leading social music service, today launched the latest
version of imeem Mobile, its award-winning social music application for
the Android platform.
The
updated version of imeem Mobile includes MyMusic, a new feature which
enables music lovers to access and stream their personal imeem music
library through their Android-powered phones. With MyMusic, people can
now browse through the music they already own and have uploaded to imeem.com
and play these songs wherever and whenever they want. The enhanced
version of imeem Mobile is available as a free download starting today
through the Android Market (http://www.android.com/market.html).
MyMusic
builds on imeem Mobile’s existing features, which allow people to
create custom Internet radio stations by searching for specific
artists, discover new music through personalized recommendations and
artist bios, listen to the most popular artists in the imeem community,
and purchase DRM-free MP3s through the Amazon MP3 application, all from
their mobile device.
“Our
community has been asking for this feature since we launched imeem
Mobile last fall,” said Dalton Caldwell, founder and CEO of imeem.
“We’re happy to give them what they want – access to their music from
the cloud—and to help drive download sales by adding more value to the
music people buy online. That’s good for music fans, for the industry
and for imeem.”
The
new version of imeem Mobile includes additional new features that make
it easier for people to access and share their favorite music on the
go, including:
· “Favorite” Stations:
imeem Mobile now includes two new personalized Favorite stations
comprised of “favorited” artists and songs . Now, people can create a
customized listening experience by programming their own radio stations.
· Share with a friend:
Music fans can now share their favorite songs with friends via email.
Friends receive an email with a link to the full-length song on imeem.com.
