Personalize Station Recommendations
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) October 04, 2013
Earbits, an innovative online radio and music marketing platform, today announced its new, free streaming radio app for iPhone and iPad. Available worldwide, the streaming app combines users’ own music with songs from over 12,000 high quality independent artists and leverages Earbits’ disruptive business model to enable commercial-free listening with on-demand play and no usage or skip restrictions.
After installing the mobile app, consumers receive music channel recommendations based on existing songs stored on their mobile devices. Earbits then intelligently blends users’ songs into its 380 channels of commercial-free music. The result is easier, faster discovery of the world’s best indie music. Consumers can play Earbits curated channels or songs on their mobile devices, switching seamlessly between their music and Earbits’ catalog. Unlike other streaming music apps, the Earbits iPhone and iPad app is available worldwide and without commercial interruptions.

Like the Web experience and the Earbits Android app released earlier this year, iOS app users earn Groovies for every artist-friendly action they take, which they redeem for access to on-demand songs and other rewards. Earbits makes it simple for listeners to support their favorite artists by recommending an artist to a friend via Facebook, tweeting about a band, or joining the artist’s email list, all of which earn 50 to 100 Groovies.
“The Earbits Radio iOS app puts artists in the center of the experience, providing simple ways for listeners to engage with them,” said CEO Joey Flores. “This approach generates more value for content owners than the ad- and commercial-supported models of other net broadcasters, giving us the flexibility to offer consumers around the world an experience free of commercials or usage limitations.”
