TotalMusic linked to Tunepost legal music playlisting service
We’ve been writing about TotalMusic for a while now – it was originally mooted by Universal Music Group as an unlimited music initiative involving several major labels. More recently, it resurfaced with rumours of an ad-supported streaming service (see Bulletin, 08-Aug-08), linked to a US company co-founded by a former UMG exec.
Now we’ve found some more details on the blog of Jason Herskowitz, VP of product management at TotalMusic. He’s posted a playlist widget (pictured right) of “free and legal music” on the blog, which he says is “a tease” for what TotalMusic is up to.
The widget is branded as Tunepost, with a link leading through to a beta signup for a service promising to let users “discover, listen, create playlists and post them across the web”. The domain name tunepost.com is registered to TotalMusic, so it seems the company is about to launch a legal playlisting service, although whether all the majors are still involved remains to be seen.
