If I’m struggling to find time to blog, it’s a fair bet something really interesting is happening at Absolute Radio. So the fact I’m finding it near impossible at the moment hints at a number of cool things about to happen.
One such thing happened today, as we announced we’re the first radio station in Europe to implement iTunes Tagging on the Apple iPod nano (Aff Link).
It may have been available in the US for a while, but now you can finally listen to the radio (On 105.8FM in London), hear a great song, and tag it for when you next synch your iPod. Rather than spending the next few days, weeks, or months humming something without being able to remember the name of it.
We’ve worked with worked with Unique Interactive, part of UBC Media and Jump2Go to achieve this – and while I say ‘we’, the actual work was being done by the Tech Services guys. And what better excuse for me to put a new iPod on my Christmas List!
