There’s a New Player in Town

Earlier this week, Moody Radio Vice President Collin Lambert addressed the future of broadcasting at Moody in his blog post. He introduced two new online tools for listeners, and today, we will learn more about the Internet radio player.

A popular trend in technology is the ability to stream audio content on desktop and laptop computers. At Moody Radio, we’ve found that technology like this has changed the landscape of radio and you now desire instant accessibility to our programs.

For some of you it’s more convenient to listen live online, while others may want to listen to previously aired broadcasts. As Collin mentioned, in just a few short weeks, Moody Radio will launch an exciting new Internet radio player so you can listen to your favorite Moody Radio programs whenever and wherever you would like.

This new player is easy to use, offers many new features, includes almost all of Moody Radio’s programs, and is fully compatible with Windows and Mac computers.

While our programs have been available via Internet for a while, the new radio player offers a substantially improved user experience. It provides information about programs and music not presently available to you. For example, live streams will display the program name and host.  And for music, the player will display the song’s name, artist and album.

The player also shows a list of recently played programs and songs for each live stream as well as links for more information about guests.

Additionally, in the age of social networking,  we are especially excited about the opportunities this player allows for you to share your favorite programs with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Finally, it uses new technology that allows for better cross-platform compatibility, which also equates to a better user experience. Its new interface and ease of use gives you the ability to discover new programs by making it easy to sample other programs on demand.

The player is scheduled to launch in early spring though a specific date has not been set. But, don’t worry, we wouldn’t mention it if it wasn’t coming soon. In the coming weeks, more information will be available on this blog, so stay tuned!
