AirSpun, Inc. Launches Social Music Discovery and Music Video Features to Help Fans Connect with Top Indie Bands

Fan web-pages and widgets, "sounds like" search, social networking, and music video features complete new suite of music discovery tools at airspun.com. The latest developments connect serious music lovers directly with new bands that match their musical tastes. Fans in the AirSpun community can now influence which bands top the charts and receive free radio promotions.

San Mateo, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) February 14, 2008 -- AirSpun, Inc. today announced the launch of a full tool-set of social music discovery and music video creation tools at www.airspun.com. These comprehensive new features are designed to provide a democratic approach to hitmaking and connect serious music lovers with new bands that match their musical tastes.

AirSpun's new social music tools help fans connect with others who like the same music, discover new bands using the new "sounds like" search, and create an audio player widget to embed in their social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook). Music fans can influence which songs and bands reach the top of the charts and help them earn free radio airtime by including their music in a free fan widget. AirSpun's rapidly growing community of indie bands, artists, and labels is nearly 16,000 strong and consists of original recording artists actively selling and marketing their music.

As further incentive for fans to participate in its new music community, AirSpun has also launched AirSpun TV -- an easy-to-use music editor application and online video contest. Fans can download the AirSpun TV editor, choose from a variety of featured band music and video clips and mix them with other royalty-free clips to create their finished video. Upon completion, fans and bands upload their video to the website to be voted on by AirSpun community members. Winning AirSpun music video "directors" receive cash prizes, and their video will be featured on the homepage of airspun.com. AirSpun TV is offered in partnership with Musitag (Musitag.com).

"After building up a significant community of talented bands and artists, we're excited to launch a powerful toolset to help fans discover new music and connect with others," says Leigh Newsome, AirSpun Chief Technology Officer. "These new social music and video capabilities represent the most significant feature release to date for airspun.com since its launch."
