Apple Approves MyMusicCloud™ for
iTunes App Store
TriPlay's Cloud-based Music Service
Enables Users to Sync
Music Across Mobile Phones, Tablets and Personal Computers
or Stream Music Via the Web
New York, NY - October 4, 2011 -TriPlay, a
multi-faceted
technology company focused
on providing globally-available multimedia services, today announced Apple's approval of
TriPlay's
MyMusicCloud™
application for the iTunes App store. MyMusicCloud enables
users
to sync their music
across virtually every type of mobile phone, tablet or personal computer including Blackberry,
Samsung,
HTC, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Apple's iPhone or iPad. MyMusicCloud offers worldwide
service
availability. Unlike streaming-only music services, MyMusicCloud enables online and offline
playback
on
any mobile phone, tablet or personal computer, as well as streaming through the web.
According to a recent report by comScore, about 80% of mobile phone users
are
still not
using their phones to listen to music.
Why aren't more users listening to music on their phones and synchronizing
their
music
across all of their devices including mobile phones, tablets and personal computers or laptops?
It seems likely that many users are not yet aware that there is a solution
that
allows them
to sync their music across multiple devices while not being locked into the Amazon, Google or
Apple
worlds.
With all of the numerous platforms, devices, operating systems and file
formats
out there,
the digital media market is fragmented. Users cannot easily access their music, videos and
photos
from the
different devices they carry around. Apple's iTunes (in iCloud) allows users to do so, but only
within the Apple
ecosystem. MyMusicCloud is the only solution that lets users sync their music over multiple
platforms.
"The mission of the company behind MyMusicCloud, TriPlay, is to bring the
same
flexibility
to the rest of the marketplace," said Tamir Koch, CEO for TriPlay. "Users should be able to
simply
enjoy their
music collections on their devices of choice without having to be concerned with technical
complexity."
MyMusicCloud
is a new, freemium, cross-platform cloud music
service. Unlike streaming-only services such as Spotify, Grooveshark or Pandora, MyMusicCloud
enables users to
synchronize their music and video collections to their mobile phones and tablets for online or
offline playback,
as well as streaming through the web. The service launched a couple of weeks ago and is already
growing in
popularity in the US and internationally.
MyMusicCloud provides a seamless solution that may be used across multiple
devices
simultaneously. For example, users can listen to all of their music on an Apple iPad together
with
an Android,
Blackberry or Nokia phone. The synching of music and videos is all done over the air and
automatically, without
the need for a USB cable or a 'sync' button.
