Hitlantis' Advanced User Interface is Adopted by Others
New Rdio Music Service Adopts Acclaimed Innovation
HELSINKI, August 23, 2010-- The international internet website and music service Hitlantis.com, with
the unique user interface it developed a year ago, has attracted worldwide
attention and interest since its launch. Now a new, recently announced music
service in the U.S. and Canada, Rdio, has decided to adopt the proven user
interface.
The bubble-like graphical interface developed by Hitlantis inspired the
creators of Rdio, who decided to facilitate their customers' music listening
experience by adopting the modern user interface.
Popular artists rise to the top and less-popular artists slip downward in
the interface developed by Hitlantis. At Hitlantis, popular artists are
closer to the center than less popular artists.
"Rdio's decision to adopt our design is a fine recognition of its merits.
We're delighted that the visual presentation style created by Hitlantis will
be followed," said managing director Marcus Tilgmann.
The world's most attractive service
The international company Hitlantis focuses on independent bands who do
not yet have a recording contract. You can listen to streaming music for
free, but you also can download the music by purchasing the bands' songs.
Hitlantis' bands receive an amazing 90 percent of the revenue from their
music, which has led to it being called "the world's most generous music
site." Artists who own the rights to their own music can upload their music
for free to Hitlantis, which is considered the world's most attractive music
service.
"With the help of Hitlantis' user interface Rdio succeeded in their North
American launch," Tilgmann says with satisfaction, and notes that the
applications are concrete examples of Web 4.0 thinking.
American television giants CNBC and CBS selected Hitlantis, the creator
of a new era in its field, as the most innovative music service; this
distinction naturally reached the ears of Rdio's creators.
Hitlantis is a new music community, established in May 2010. The service
brings together music-makers and consumers in a virtual world, and also in
real life. It gives users, for example, the opportunity to vote for their
favorites for live gigs. The user-friendly e-commerce music site Hitlantis
notably gives bands 90 percent of the revenue from music sold.
