Soundcrank Releases Widgets for MySpace
Users
An Effortless Way to Keep Friends Up-to-Date About Music Preferences
Cedar Hills – August 28, 2007 – Soundcrank, a worldwide provider of digital music
services, today announced the availability of an embeddable Soundcrank widget for
MySpace. With the Soundcrank widget embedded in a MySpace site, users can display
their personal music tastes based upon their listening habits. The widget works
in conjunction with the Soundcrank iTunes plug-in. The widget can display the following:
- Most recently played songs
- Most listened to song
- Custom lists of albums, artists, or songs
"The MySpace widget was a direct result of the conversations we've had with users,"
said Brent Barnett, co-founder of Soundcrank. "They love the functionality that
Soundcrank offers but wanted a way to integrate it into the social networking sites
they were already using. These widgets make that possible."
The widgets provide users with
an effortless way to keep friends up-to-date with information about music
preferences. They work with any song played in iTunes unlike Apple's My iTunes widgets
which only supports music purchased from the iTunes music store. The widgets were
designed specifically for MySpace but will work on any site that supports Flash.

About Soundcrank – What makes Soundcrank different? Soundcrank was started in because
of frustration with the digital music experience. The digital music
world of MP3s and iPods provided unprecedented convenience and flexibility but something
was missing. In the move from physical to digital only formats something was lost.
After thoughtful examination of the digital music experience Soundcrank realized there had
to be a better way! Soundcrank found that better way, and are excited to
invite users
to join Soundcrank and re-discover the digital music experience. The iTunes plug-in
allows users to get album art and lyrics, discover new music and share your music
tastes with your friends.
