1. Sonific Releases Updated Beta Site with Music Widgets for Over 20 New Sites
Sonific releases updated beta site with music widgets for over 20 new sites such as Smugmug,
Typepad, Wordpress, Livejournal, Hi5, Piczo, and Google Pages.
San Francisco, CA / Basel, Switzerland (PRWEB) November 6, 2006 -- Sonific LLC today announced the
latest release of their SongSpots™ service offering increased support for many new online destinations where
Sonific users can add SongSpots™, and play the song of their choice on their own web properties.
With the new release, Sonific supports Blogger / Blogspot, Facebook, Flickr, Friendster, Google, Google
Pages, Hi5, ILCU, LiveJournal, MovableType, Multiply, MySpace, NetVibes, Piczo, ProfileHeaven,
SmugMug, Terapad, TypePad, Xanga, WidgetBox, and WordPress, making it easy for almost 200 Million
users to integrate full-length songs into their web properties, for free, yet fully authorized by the rights holders.
Sonific’s recently launched SongSpot™ beta service has already attracted thousands of users in over 45
countries. SongSpots™ enables its users to create flash “widgets” that stream any track selected from a large
database of music provided by music aggregators such as CDBaby and Big Fish Media, as well as from
leading independent record labels such as Nettwerk Records (Canada) and Cooking Vinyl (UK). Many
examples of SongSpots™ can be browsed at www.sonific.com.
In addition, Sonific has added API support for Google Gadgets, Typepad, Terapad, Google Gadgets,
Livejournal, and WidgetBox, making it even easier to add music via the SongSpots™ tool since a user can
now import the music directly from Sonific, straight into his own user account, thereby alleviating the need for
cutting and pasting the code, and exposing the SongSpots™ service to a much wider audience. Sonific also
announced the availability of a new, resizable 'bubble' flash player which is already getting raving responses
from Sonific's users.
Sonific's co-founder and CTO, Gunnar Ostergren, comments: quot;The latest update shows where we are headed
in terms of making our service even easier to use. Additional API support is in the works as well as more
players and increased customization options. We will also offer co-branded or white-labeled versions of
Sonific SongSpots™, solving the dilemma many site operators are facing: their users are demanding music but
free yet legal options are too hard to come by. By integrating our search engine, track preview, and
SongSpots™ creation tools, site operators will soon be able to add our entire catalog and our widgets with a
minimum of effort while taking full advantage of our music licenses”
