1345 Melodeo today announced the next generation of nuTsie ( nutsie.com ), its industry-leading cloud-based music platform. This major advance in the platform delivers the full iPod experience to any connected device plus significant improvements, including wireless syncing, smart caching and unlimited new music discovery. The new nuTsie platform is currently being made available as embeddable software to mobile carriers, mobile device manufacturers and others eager to provide a solution for the 400 million-plus consumers who currently manage their media in iTunes and want to be able to access that media anytime, anywhere.

This major upgrade of the nuTsie platform enables any connected device – mobile phone, netbook, laptop, game console, e-book reader, set-top box or other – to function like an iPod. Just as on an iPod, users can access any music as organized in their iTunes library, including their playlists and single-song play with full user control.

As a cloud-based platform, this version of nuTsie also offers three key additional features that significantly improve on the iPod experience: wireless syncing with the user's iTunes library, smart caching that solves device storage limit problems and unlimited full-track new music discovery.

The nuTsie cloud-based platform continuously and automatically syncs with the user's iTunes library – no cable required. When new material is added to the user's iTunes library on their PC or Mac, that material automatically shows up on nuTsie on other connected devices.

Because the media is stored in the cloud, the new nuTsie platform solves the problem of device storage limitations, a significant barrier on mobile phones with limited memory capacity. The nuTsie cloud platform features a proprietary smart caching algorithm that optimizes storage on a user's device to ensure that the user's most popular content is always stored on the device.

nuTsie also delivers unlimited, full-track music discovery in two flavors of personalized radio. Users can access nuTsie's popular Top 100s playlists:

New music can also be accessed through nuTsie's exclusive recommendation engine, as featured in the recently-launched Effin Genius ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/effin-genius/id348231992?mt=8 iPhone app ) which analyzes the user's music library and uses that information plus billions of points of data nuTsie has collected from iTunes libraries to generate new playlists.

"We've put all of your music plus unlimited new music in the cloud, where you can get it anytime, anywhere," said Melodeo CEO Jim Billmaier. "We've heard again and again that this is what consumers want, and this next generation of our platform delivers. And this isn't just about music – our service will extend to video, podcasts, e-books and other media."

This next generation of the nuTsie platform extends Melodeo's advantage as the industry-leading cloud-based music solution. nuTsie.com and the flagship nuTsie
mobile app ( http://www.nutsie.com/mobile ) already allow users to access their own music in an iPod Shuffle-like experience and to stream unlimited new music on any network-connected device. nuTsie is also the #1 seller of music listening apps:

in the iPhone App Store.

nuTsie's success has enabled Melodeo to reach and sustain profitability in 2009 and into 2010.

The new version of nuTsie was demonstrated by a major mobile software company at this year's Consumer Electronics Show during a closed-door session for the company's preferred partners. Melodeo will commercially launch the product on Android this quarter.
