imeem has acquired Anywhere.FM, a web music player and Internet radio service. The acquisition of Anywhere.FM brings valuable music uploading capabilities, a rich web music player, and powerful recommendation features that will enhance the imeem experience and help imeem expand its business. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Anywhere.FM desktop uploader enables users to quickly and easily upload their personal MP3 collections to the Web and stream their favorite artists, songs and playlists from any browser. Consumers can upload individual songs or use Anywhere.FM’s uploader to upload their entire iTunes, WinAmp, or Windows Media Player libraries, including personal playlists, song ratings and play counts, with a single click. Users’ libraries are then accessible through a full-featured web music player complete with smart playlists, visualizers, and dynamic search. Anywhere.FM has also created a sophisticated “Friend Radio†feature that lets users discover new music by streaming playlists their friends and other users have uploaded. In addition, Anywhere.FM’s recommendation engine lets users search for people with similar music tastes.
