Music Store di 7digital sarà pre-installato sul PlayBook di BlackBerry al momento del lancio negli U.S.A. e in Canada e su altri dispositivi in vendita nel 2011. Gli utenti avranno a disposizione un catalogo di ben 13 milioni di mp3 da acquistare
Research In Motion (RIM) e 7digital hanno annunciato l’accordo per l’inserimento di 7digital Music Store nel pacchetto delle applicazioni preinstallate sul nuovo BlackBerry PlayBook.
Il Music Store di 7digital permetterà agli utenti del BlackBerry PlayBook di accedere al catalogo musicale di 7digital, contenente più di 13 milioni di mp3 di alta qualità (320kbps). Gli utenti, inoltre, avranno la possibilità di fare ricerche impostando come keyword brano, artista o album e di ascoltare un’anteprima dell’mp3 prima di procedere con l’acquisto. Non solo: avranno anche la possibilità di conoscere nuovi brani attraverso le recensioni di altri utenti 7digital. I prezzi per l’acquisto dei brani saranno equivalenti a quelli del sito 7digital.com, convertiti nella valuta locale dell’utente.
The 7digital Music Store will give BlackBerry PlayBook users access to 7digital’s catalogue of over 13 million high quality (320kbps) MP3s. BlackBerry PlayBook users will be able to search for tracks, albums and artists and preview tracks before making a purchase. Users can also discover new music through 7digital’s recommendation technology. Prices for BlackBerry PlayBook users will match the prices on 7digital.com, with individual tracks and albums priced in a customer’s local currency.
Ben Drury, CEO 7digital comments, “We’re really excited to be working with RIM to bring the 7digital experience to the BlackBerry PlayBook. RIM has created an incredible tablet with premium multimedia features and together we are delivering a truly exceptional music experience for mobile users, offering content that is extremely easy to discover, purchase and use.
“We currently have the largest international footprint of any MP3 digital music seller and we look forward to expanding our business with RIM throughout the year.”
“The 7digital Music Store is a perfect complement to the high-performance BlackBerry PlayBook, providing users with fast searches and downloads, and a slick interface that makes it very easy to discover, purchase and enjoy music,” said Alistair Mitchell, Vice President, BBM Platform & Integrated Services. “We are thrilled to be working with 7digital to provide BlackBerry PlayBook users with access to an amazing catalog of 13 million tracks.”
The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet running the 7digital Music Store application will be previewed this week at the South by South West conference in Austin, Texas.
