tunesBag secures funding and support from INiTS

We are proud to announce that our company is now a member of the INiTS incubator and will receive funding and further support!

As ReadWrite explained recently, the market for music is gaining traction with investors again (investments nearly doubled since the last two years) and indeed tunesBag is now part of this favorable trend - we have closed a deal with INiTS, the incubator powered by the university and city of Vienna!

INiTS offers funding, coaching and networking and aims at young professionals who want to start up their own company in the fields of technology, biotech and lifescience. Numerous companies powered by INiTS have been able to secure remarkable fundings or close deals with large companies.

An important milestone for our company!

Enjoy amazing artist images while listening to a track

We've just launched a new feature - while listening to a track we'll automatically provide you with a compilation of artist images; the background of your player will be automatically adopted! On the right you can see an example for Radiohead.

We're using Flickr as main source for the images and only CC - licenced images will be used (with the proper licence).

You can disable this feature in the preferences (Section "Design").

New "Minimal" - Skin: Very simple skin for your tunesBag player!

Some of you asked for skins and today we've released the first one - it's called "minimal" and will reduce the number of elements shown on the page and use 100% of your available screen width. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here we've got two screenshots:

The library view
The playlist view

How to switch to the new skin?
It's very easy - simply log in, switch to the preferences in the user menu and change the Skin to "Minimal", Save the changes and reload - that's all you've got to do!

Tell your friends on Facebook which artists you like with a simple click

It's now easier than ever to tell your friends on Facebook which artists you like! Below the player you'll now find the famous "Like" - Button and a list of friends and other users who also like the artist of the track you're currently listening to.

If you click on this button, a short item in your newsfeed on Facebook will be created (see the screenshot on the right) - a great way to tell your friends which artists you like and show your support for this artist! The list of your favourite artists in your Facebook profile will be updated as well.

Facebook Like = Fan on tunesBag as well
When you click on the "Like" - button you'll become a fan of this artist on tunesBag as well - there's no need to click several buttons, just use the "Like" - Button and you're done!

You can also perform this action on the artist information pages, just have a look for the "Like" - Button in the right column, check out our page on Goldfrapp as an example.
