Announced in SEPTEMBER, ITUNES TAGGING is a new HD RADIO feature designed to further boost ITUNES sales by allowing listeners to "Tag" the currently playing song, automatically adding its information to a "Tagged" playlist on the connected IPOD. When synced with a computer, the playlist appears in ITUNES, making it easy to purchase tagged tracks from the ITUNES STORE.
Since the announcement of ITUNES TAGGING, CBS RADIO, CLEAR CHANNEL, CUMULUS, COX, ENTERCOM and GREATER MEDIA have all announced that they are in the process of installing ITUNES TAGGING technology. "We are very pleased with the strong support ITUNES TAGGING has received from the broadcast radio industry," said APPLE VP/IPOD Product Marketing GREG JOSWIAK. "ITUNES TAGGING is a great way for local broadcasters to jump into the digital music space and for consumers to easily discover new music on their HD RADIO and enjoy it with ITUNES and their IPOD." According to a document on IBIQUITYs website, "APPLE plans to offer participating stations a revenue share for songs referred to and purchased on ITUNES," adding extra incentive for HD RADIO broadcasters to adopt ITUNES TAGGING. via www.allaccess.com FYI,Curt Curt Phillips, CEM CMVP W4CP ex-KD4YU; WB4LHI ARRL Life; QCWA; SKCC; NASWA Tar Heel Scanner/SWL Group WTSB AM1090- Sat.
