Sneak Peak.. Melody Pods for Kindles

May 21, 2015 by Ruben Abalos

The Background Music Player for Kindle on the Amazon App StoreMelody Pods music player is due to launch on the Amazon App Store soon.

Whilst we are awaiting final details from Amazon before launching we thought we would post up our news.

Extending the ways that you can use existing hardware to reduce the cost of playing music in your business has always been key to Melody Pods.

So now.. well.. very soon we will be able to offer full support for Kindle machines as well.

Our tests have shown our Android app works very well on the machines and has passed the compatibility test for all, although older versions do tend to be slow at responding to touch commands as you would expect.

Another device ticked off the list!

Melody Pods Streaming Service For PC/Mac

May 21, 2015 by Ruben Abalos

In store Background Music Streaming service for businessWell I said we would never do it but I’ve had to eat my hat. A number of clients have pleaded with us to let them play their Melody Pods music using their existing PCs and so we’ve gone to work to make this available from within the Melody Pods account and launching today.

So, login and purchase the streaming player package suitable for the number of locations you have and you will see the player option appear in the account menu. Please make sure you have the latest version of Chrome or Firefox to play the music. Other browsers including browsers on tablets are not currently compatible.
Streaming music for me has always been risky when considering a quality business service with end to end service level guarantees. Because a streaming player relies on bandwidth being available at a given time to keep the music flowing it is a less reliable way to listen to music in your business than downloading to a tablet.
But we understand some clients don’t have the budget for a tablet and want to use their existing computer hardware (by the way, we will have a few new great tricks coming hopefully soon on this anyway).
Music streaming service for businessSo, if you have an active local area network (LAN) with lots of other things going on such as batch updates you may find your stream struggling to keep up (although we have buffering enabled to help).
Additionally if your Internet network connection is small on bandwidth or your service provider is using a lot of active customers contending for the same bandwidth then you may risk hearing a few quiet moments while the Melody Pods streaming player waits for more music to get through.
If you are in two minds about what technical solution will be best for you then please give us a call. We have a lot of experience with telecommunications and Internet routing challenges.
Our recommendation to most clients is to go for a tablet solution  because the cost of tablets, particularly Android based machines are so cheap nowadays that the return on investment you can achieve packaged up with a Melody Pods subscription can be within a year.

Melody Pods Background Music Playing on PC and Mac

April 3, 2015 by Ruben Abalos

Yesterday Google announced its ARC application that enables Android apps to run via the Chrome platform. This doesn’t mean apps will sit inside a Chrome browser but means we can see how Chrome itself is an environment where a selection of apps can be opened and operated from on the PC and Mac (and Linux apparently).

As complicated as this sounds we are hoping this can enable a simple way for clients who don’t want to invest in tablets at all their locations from day one and can still use legacy PC installations.

We have been testing the Melody Pods app today and have found it works exactly the same as the Android tablet installation so we are really excited. To see our app working on a laptop on a mac or PC is awesome.

The flexibility that Google have enabled with Android and Chrome is really exciting and again extends the value of investing in developing on the Android platform. Subscribe to our newsletter for news of some exciting and innovative services we will be adding soon.

Choosing and saving your music ready for download (part 1)

February 5, 2015 by Ruben Abalos

Hello!
We have put together a new tutorial for covering the basics of the online music catalogue and how to save your music choices ready for download. The process is as simple as:

1) Browse music albums and play sample audio,
2) Click box to choose the music for your download list
3) Press save to save your choices to your ‘My Downloads’ section.

They will be ready for download when you log in with your Melody Pods music player on your device.
Please note, this is part one of two ways to choose and save your music choices. We will soon be launching our multi-zone and scheduling system which will mean this tutorial will only work for admin account holders who use their admin user ID and password when these new features are launched.

After the new launch, each music player will log in using the account user name and a predefined zone key to get the playlists or even a schedule of playlists. We will have news on this exciting update very soon.

Here’s the tutorial.
