NEW YORK, May 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- 411-SONG, the leading mobile music search service, today announced that its users have identified or "tagged" 50,000 songs since launch. In celebration of the achievement, starting today, 411-SONG is running a promotion giving all callers the one-time opportunity to identify five songs for only $0.99 throughout the month of May.
"We are thrilled that people all over the country are embracing the chance to identify music on-the-fly," said Sunjay Guleria, CEO of 411-SONG. "It is clear that music fans want the instant gratification of tagging songs anywhere, anytime. With 411-SONG, we are creating a whole new way for music lovers to act on impulse and buy the song or ringtone of almost any song they hear."
Starting on May 9, mobile users can dial (866) 411-SONG and will get five IDs for the price of one, with the first successful ID being charged and the next four song IDs free. A $0.99 charge will automatically appear on the user's phone bill, with no charge for unsuccessful IDs.
To use the service, users simply call toll-free (866) 411-SONG and place their mobile phones near the music for 15 seconds. The caller then receives a text message with the song title and artist name, as well as a link to buy the ringtone on certain mobile phones.
