Press Coverage
Music Week “The Carphone Warehouse has revealed full details of its new Music Anywhere service, which is potentially the first step to bringing cloud music into the mainstream in the UK.”
The Guardian “A groundbreaking mobile music service that will allow music-lovers to access their entire music collection on the move, at work or on their mobile phone, will launch tomorrow, in what is being welcomed as positive move by the embattled music industry.”
techradar.com “The Carphone Warehouse has announced a new music-streaming service that promises to put you in control of your tunes on the go. Instead of pulling songs from your home PC, the desktop application will scan your computer to see what songs you have..and stream the music direct to your handset.”
The Daily Telegraph “The Music Anywhere service has been welcomed by senior executives in the music industry, who are keen to explore new revenue streams in the digital age. ‘It’s in everyone’s interests to offer today’s digital consumers the widest possible choice of innovative, fully-licensed music services,’ said Rob Wells, senior vice president at Universal Music.”
Record of the Day Online “The Carphone Warehouse has partnered with Catch Media to launch ‘Music Anywhere’, a groundbreaking service that provides users access to their entire music library, wherever they are in the world. Launching on Tuesday 3rd August, Music Anywhere is the first service of its kind, backed by both artists and the music industry.”
CMU Daily “Carphone Warehouse is launching a “cloud-based” music service, which I have agreed to refer to as a “cloud-based” music service on account of it being a bit cleverer than your average streaming service or device-locked download platform. It’s basically what would happen if you had a helping of Spotify in a bowl, and you accidentally split a packet of digital locker service into it.”
Distorted Loop “Best Buy beats Apple’s iTunes to UK music streaming services. While we wait for Apple to offer iTunes music strasming, here’s news for UK readers: Best Buy UK to introduce My Music Anywhere throughout UK Best Buy stores as well as Carphone Warehouse shops.”
