Yes, it seems to be all mobile these days. I bet we will be seeing a lot more multimedia content from many database providers accessible on a mobile device. We think it makes perfect sense.
In 2010 Alexander Street’s entire music portfolio will be accessible on iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices. Subscribers will be able to stream music and video, access scores, search and navigate full-text reference content, and even access and edit personal playlists.
Alexander Street’s iPhone and iPod Touch application will be completely free. Updating your playlists or listening to an assigned recording will literally be just a touch away. And thanks to newly developed streaming technology, you’ll do it all without buffering.
Alexander Street Offers Several Music Databases including:
+ Music Online
Music Online provides a cross-database search of all Alexander St. Press music databases including those listed below. From the Music Online documentation we learn that Alexander Street Press offers more than 200,000 audio tracks that will soon be iPhone/iTouch ready.
…listen to 50,000 tracks of reggae, worldbeat, neo-traditional, world fusion, Balkanic jazz, African film, Bollywood, Arab swing and jazz, and other genres.
+ Smithsonian Global Sound for Libraries
40,000 individual tracks of music, spoken word, and natural and human-made sounds.
