AOL Overhauls Music Service
AOL today announced it has retooled its online music download service to include music videos, streaming radio, and social features. Users of the subscription-based AOL Music Now service can now stream an unlimited number of songs and music videos on-demand. Additionally, those with “portable tier” subscriptions can transfer music and videos to their PC’s and compatible portable media devices. The new service also includes AOL Radio with XM including 200 AOL Radio stations and selected XM Satellite Radio channels.
“With the addition of music videos and AOL Radio with XM stations, AOL Music Now has raised the bar in the digital music service space. And, with best-in-class personalization and automated discovery features, it’s easy for music lovers to navigate the thousands of mixes, playlists and radio stations the service offers,” said AOL Music Now president Amit Shafrir in a statement.
AOL has also boosted its catalog of downloadable tunes to 2.5 million from major and independent labels. Thousands of music videos are also provided by labels like Sony BMG. Additional social features include the ability to have daily custom playlists, which can be shared with other users, music ratings, personalized home pages, and a community area featuring the most popular fans and playlists for each music genre. To promote the launch, AOL is offering $50 off the purchase of the ZEN Vision:M 30GB media player device.
