imeem Announces Upgraded Version of Its Mobile App

imeem, a leading social music service, announced recently the launch of a new version of imeem Mobile, the award-winning social music application developed for the Android operating system. One of the new features included in the updated version of imeem Mobile is MyMusic, which has been designed to offer music lovers access and streaming of their personal imeem music library directly via their Android-powered handsets.

The new MyMusic feature allows users to browse through their own music that they've uploaded to the imeem site and offers them the option to play the tracks whenever they want no matter where they are located. The new improved version of imeem is already available for download through the Android Market.

MyMusic has been developed upon already existing imeem Mobile features, providing users with the possibility to create their own custom internet radios by adding different artists, while also allowing them to discover new songs via personalized recommendations and bios. At the same time, people can also listen to the most popular artists in the community and acquire DRM-free MP3s via the Amazon MP3 application, all directly from their mobile phone.

“Our community has been asking for this feature since we launched imeem Mobile last fall,” said Dalton Caldwell, founder and CEO of imeem. “We’re happy to give them what they want - access to their music from the cloud - and to help drive download sales by adding more value to the music people buy online. That’s good for music fans, for the industry and for imeem.”

The updated version of imeem Mobile also comes with new features meant to facilitate people's access to music, as well as the sharing process for favorite music while on the go. There are “Favorite” Stations, allowing users to create a customized listening experience by choosing their own radio stations, as well as a new 'sharing with a friend' option, where songs can be shared via email.

imeem Mobile has recently received the title of the “Best Mobile App” for 2008 at the Crunchies, an event sponsored by leading blogs TechCrunch, VentureBeat, GigaOm and Silicon Alley Insider. imeem Mobile managed to turn into the number one streaming music application on the Android Market, while also being one of the 15 most popular applications on Google's platform.
