Below are some of the features and services integrated into the TinBu / FlyFi Interactive Music Player.
PLAYLISTS
When users specify their favorite artists, the TinBu / FlyFi Interactive Music Player builds a playlist (station) that includes similar artists and others the user may like. Playlists adapt to the user's taste and continue to recommend new music.
TinBu’s online publishing partners can also pre-load the player with playlists of their choosing; they can from over 150 TinBu / FlyFi pre-built playlists, or build their own playlists.
NEW RELASES
Links to three new songs are released every day. Users can download them for free and add them to their custom playlists.
MUSIC NEWS
The most newsworthy items are selected from the best sources around the web.
MATCHING PEOPLE
The TinBu / FlyFi Interactive Music Player matches users with others who have the same taste in music to enable users to discover new bands and songs from other users by word-of-mouth.
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FREE TRACKS, MILLIONS OF VIDEOS
All stations draw from millions of popular songs that can be streamed, and a growing catalog of over 11,000 MP3’s from independent label artists that can streamed and downloaded to a PC or MP3 player, legally and without digital rights management (DRM) restrictions.
BETTER THAN RADIO
Site visitors can be introduced to new music they will like, listen to music as often as they like, change the order of the songs at any time, and get more information about the artists they like. They can also vote on tracks, buy and/or post them to their favorite social network to add a fun and viral component to an online publisher partner’s website.
