Oxy Systems has unveiled the latest version of phling!, the popular mobile music and social networking service for teen and young adult mobile phone subscribers.

The newest version of the service includes the phling! Mobile Music Promotion Program, a free and secure music promotions program that provides independent labels and musicians with the opportunity of making their music available to subscribers of the phling! network. The phling! Mobile Music Promotion Program lets musicians gain important feedback from subscribers through text messages on the musicians' personal bulletin boards, as well as detailed behavioral statistics from Oxy Systems on what tracks are being listened to most, the rate at which subscribers are listening to songs and what they are saying to their friends about the music. This new program also allows independent record labels the ability to showcase new artists and music. Independent musicians and record labels can get their music posted to the phling! network through a partnership request form located on the phling! website.

Through a new partnership agreement between Oxy Systems and United DJ's Radio, this new release of phling! will include Internet radio capabilities, providing subscribers with house and club music from a wide variety of artists. Oxy Systems has also improved the phling! user interface, further enhancing the subscriber's overall mobile music and social networking experience.

Mike Krasner, CEO of Oxy Systems, declared: "The phling! Mobile Music Promotion Program truly expands the entire music discovery experience - for labels, musicians and our subscribers. No other mobile music service is enabling the level of interaction that phling! provides between independent musicians, music labels and the age groups known to download the highest amounts of music and ringtones. In addition, we expect the new Internet radio capabilities and simplified user interface will not only improve the experience for our users, but also further increase the attractiveness of phling! as a revenue-generating tool for mobile operators."
