AudioNow Announces Universal Streaming Interface

AudioNow announced today the launch of its “Any AudioNow” service to connect any type of streaming format to its mobile phone distribution platform. Service to any mobile device via AudioNow had previously been limited to audio streams in MP3 formats only.

“This was a logical next step to meet the demand from broadcasters,” said AudioNow’s Chief Technology Officer, Marcel Barbulescu. “We needed to sequence this important new service as we stabilized the dramatic network increase we’ve seen in the past year.” Added Barbulescu: “We have now eliminated a final technical roadblock in support of our long-term strategy to provide universal access to radio and audio content on any mobile device in the world. This new service will make it ‘painless and cost-effective’ for any broadcaster to join our network.”

The new “Any AudioNow” platform will accept most streaming formats, including Windows Media Audio (WMA) and AAC/HE-AAC. AudioNow’s engineers will work around the clock with the partner broadcasters to accommodate any format and resolve any issues so that the call-to-listen experience on the consumer side is flawless.

AudioNow is a Reston, VA-based tech firm whose platform delivers audio content to mobile devices via voice networks (as opposed to the data network). So, to listen to a client’s station, listeners actually call a phone number and plug in their headphones. The company says this system “expands your distribution to any mobile device without managing streaming services, sophisticated technology, developing third party applications, all while lowering your bandwidth costs by using only a single stream of bandwidth.”

The company today announced the launch of “Any AudioNow,” enabling broadcasters to use any streaming format (e.g. Windows Media Audio (WMA) and AAC/HE-AAC) on the AudioNow platform (which had previously been limited to streaming MP3).
