MyStrands Mobile Adds Community
To Streaming Audio

MyStrands Social Player is here! It is a music player for mobile devices (Symbian Series 60, 3rd edition) with two main characteristics: it is a music discovery tool and a strong community builder. Watch the video then try it yourself.

It was Symbian signed yesterday for general release. This is version 2.6 of MyStrands for Symbian.

As a music discovery tool, it gives you real-time recommendations of songs that are similar to your currently-playing song, you can stream 30′’ clips of the recommended songs to your device, and learn more about them on our mobile website. There are more that six million tracks waiting to be discovered.

The MyStrands Social Player has two community features: first, it helps you discover new people by telling you who else in the community is currently listening to the same song. Then, you can view that person’s profile (unless it has been set as private) and check his listening history. Maybe you’ll make a new friend!

MyStrands Social Player also helps you keep in contact with your friends, it tells you what they are listening to at every moment, and it shows you their play history (from their phones or computers). You’ll be able to interact with them and discover music through them.

There is still more. MyStrands Social Player allows you to build playlists on the go, and to tag your music and discover music through tags. The player also helps you build your musical profile.

You can visit your personal page at http://MyStrands.com or http://m.MyStrands.com and see your listening history.

All our services are integrated through our public APIs (OpenStrands), Whatever you do in our website, MyStrands for Mac, for PC, for Windows Mobile, for Symbian or patyStrands, is fully integrated: there is no need to add your friends again in your mobile, no need to re-tag music, to build your music profile once again. Your one MyStrands account is good for all these services.
