MUMBAI: Royal Philips Electronics and Songbird today announced a strategic partnership to include the Songbird media player on the 2010 line of Philips GoGear portable audio video players. Philips Songbird, one simple program to discover, play, and sync music and media, will be available worldwide for the 2010 line-up of Philips GoGear players including the new GoGear Muse, GoGear Vibe, GoGear Mix, GoGear Aria, GoGear Spark, GoGear Raga, and GoGear Cam.
Philips Songbird enables consumers to transfer their music collection to their GoGear portable audio video players, share playlists, find new music, purchase songs over the web, sync videos and photos and discover favorite bands that will be playing in their area. Consumers can add media to Songbird by importing their CD collection and from the music that is already on their PC. The first set of integrated partners for Songbird include the 7Digital and Songkick online stores. 7Digital makes recommendations for new music based on what customers have actually been listening to recently, while Songkick notifies listeners when their favorite bands and artists are coming to town and lets them buy tickets right from Songbird.
"Creating a fun and engaging experience for our consumers is paramount, which is why we chose Songbird. It gives consumers one simple program that works with all our portable devices." said Jasper Vervoort, Director of Strategy and Business Development, Philips Consumer Lifestyle. "Songbird is also an open platform, which means it gives consumers choice and offers opportunities for developers, web media/content, and commerce providers to offer an even more compelling, differentiated consumer experience".
