Media distribution developer PassAlong Networks and Cynergy
Systems, Inc., have announced a series of media products based on Adobe Flex technology.
The partnership includes PassAlong’s OnTour concert information widgets and the
Speakerheart artist-controlled music management and promotions platform;
additional music showcase and playlist widgets are currently in development.
PassAlong’s OnTour widget brings artists and fans closer
together by linking fans to up-to-date tour information and customized artist
announcements. The OnTour application is a series of Adobe Flex software-based
front widgets that are available on an assortment of platforms and in many
customizable forms with easy-to-use interfaces. The widgets tap into an
assortment of back-end metadata, including concert, artist and venue
information, maps and more than 3 million songs.
Speakerheart is an RIA utilizing Adobe Flex software that
enables independent artists to publish, promote and sell their music online.
Artists can upload their own music, create track samples, set their own prices,
and sell it all side-by-side in custom storefronts. Speakerheart artists also
have access to promotional tools called Shelves that can be pasted on any website
supporting Adobe Flash software, including social networks such as Friendster
and MySpace, plus artist blogs and fan sites.
