Heralding a new phase in unifying the consumer digital media experience, Gracenote and Omnifone have announced the first solution to provide easy integration of a consumer’s personal music collection with a unlimited music subscription service and seamless synchronization of both across a consumer’s personal devices — from mobile phones to desktop PCs, to home entertainment systems and in-car stereos.
A demonstration at the 2009 Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas will show music fans how they can synchronize their existing music library with Omnifone’s award winning unlimited music service of over five million tracks using embedded Gracenote technology. The service works across multiple entertainment platforms instantly and effortlessly while optimizing the quality of the content without the worry about file formats or interoperability. Synchronization of personal and service content with a unified consumer experience across all platforms is paramount to achieving the dramatic growth analysts project for music consumption over the next three years. Forrester’s December 2008 Jupiter Research forecast says U.S. digital music sales will grow by 17 percent per year on average over the next five years to make up 41 percent of sales by 2013, while Juniper Research predicts the success of unlimited music services on mobile platforms will significantly grow digital music revenues, with subscription-based unlimited digital music services overtaking “first generation” pay-per-track services and worth U.S. $3.3 billion by 2012.
