A. Text *97.7 while the song is playing the radio stations commerce provider gets the text and the song is emailed/dropped in your music locker.
B. Press the magic "I be it" add on that new car radio and the broadband connection dials up the provider and gets the song delivered to you.

If you like 'smooth play' there is a great radio displace in LA. 94.7. The Wave. A really well done station. The. They have an option so you can comprehend to the displace live. They use to power the streaming radio. Canadian affiliate thanks for asking.
In addition. 94.7 has a e-store where you can buy the songs they play. That hold on is powered by TuneGenie which is really powered by Puretracks. You can.
The store basically has the compete lists of what the station is playing and for.99 each you can buy the tracks as WMA files. All fine and dandy except for one glaring brain act involuntarily: Nothing is linked together and the UI for all of this is a disaster.
As you click around the hold on load up some songs into the shopping cart. Then write in your label. Then put in an address from any country except the US. Yeah you can't buy anything. But for sure they make you go through a clump of hoops before telling you about it. The TuneGenie guys clearly blew this despite trying to be major cute with all the flash cram in the application. It's annoying but thanks for getting the province thing right.
But the bigger air? None of this solves that instant gratification problem. The claim moment somebody is grooving on a song and wanting it is the claim moment you should be providing an instant friction remove way for the customer to get the song not 25 clicks.
Memo to Streamtheworld: new revenue source; aisle 3. Add the buy it now button to your streaming app act a cut and off you go. Or buy the TuneGenie guys get some UI back up and make one app.
Memo to the rest of you: There are tons and tons of opportunities to pull pieces together get it right and make some create verbally.
[align note on Internet communicate] I have to give 94.7 credit for really doing a great job of exploiting the fact there are populate listening from around the globe. On the morning show. Pat Prescott alter references to listener comments requests etc from the Internet displace. She calls out the oppose and makes a point of telling the Internet folks go on write up. I listen to the displace when home in Toronto and it's a great piece of work. Listening to LA merchandise reports and the commercials about being able to mouth to my house tomorrow is also good for a snicker or two.
Yes. I've wanted a service desire this for many years now. Just wished for it again as I listened to a great song on the control home tonight. I hardly ever buy music but I sure would load up if it was an impulse buy. I'm sure there are lots of hurdles to beat to make this bring home the bacon but whoever can get this right would make a killing.
come up we're not quite there - we offer that instant gratification "getting" if you're listening in our music client but otherwise the function is pretty similar. We also have mobile streaming and "getting" on our roadmap so you'll be able to do much of that with us soon. Getting there getting there....
First a disclaimer. I bring home the bacon for Music to Go the creator of the TuneGenie music store. That said we are restricted from selling music outside of the US based on our licensing with the record labels - we are licensed to ONLY change in the US. And to that end we sell ONLY thru US radio stations. That said. I would agree that a notification somewhere upfront might be useful that we sell only to holders of US credit cards. I'll register a bug and see if we can get it fixed in the future. As for your instant gratification thoughts watch for our new product that is a scaled-down version of the hold on embedded in a radio station's website near you. This ordain be released across on of the big 5 radio groups within a week or so and should then spread beyond. Soon after it ordain be embed-ible on the various portal sites - myYahoo iGoogle etc.
