HD Radio Products Will Allow iTunes Tagging
HD Radio Products Will Allow iTunes Tagging
by , 4:50 PM EDT, September 7th, 2007
HD Radio has teamed with Apple on a free service that will allow HD Radio listeners to tag songs for later purchase in iTunes, according to Electronic House on Friday.
The service works as follows: on supported devices, when listening to HD Radio, a song can be selected or tagged. Later, the song will appear in iTunes and can be purchased.
The service is a joint effort between Apple and iBiquity Digital. Broadcasters who participate will need to implement the system on their radio stations.
Right now, the user will need a compatible system, and the only two available in time for Christmas will be the Polk i-Sonic Entertainment System and the JBL iHD. Additional products are expected in 2008 for home and car.
Observer Comments
The online music service smstunes.com already have this tagging service for most popular US based FM radio stations (no HD), you just need to send a text message with the station frequency, not as easily as pressing a button but still can be useful as you can use it anywhere in US with your mobile, more details here:
