iPlayMusic Launches Chords for iTunes Featuring Free Videos to Learn and Jam
to Your Favorite iTunes Songs on Mac, iPhone or iPod

Mac Beta Delivers 26 Free Chord Videos for Songs from Green Day, James 
Taylor, White Stripes and More; Each Presents Animated Music and Lyrics For a
Fun Play-Along Experience
 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- iPlayMusic, providers of  music
learning and entertainment products, today launched Chords for iTunes, the 
first service of its kind to synchronize the chords, music and lyrics to your 
favorite iTunes songs and present them on video for easy playback and
learning.  During its beta phase, which begins today and runs through
September, 26 chord videos are available for free on the Mac for popular songs
from artists  including Green Day, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Matchbox 20,
White Stripes and  more. An expanded selection of videos will be introduced
this Fall.

"For most music hobbyists and musicians, the only thing that beats listening 
to their favorite music on iTunes is being able to play along with it," said 
Quincy Carroll, chief executive officer at iPlayMusic. "Whether you are
learning  to play an instrument for the first time, trying to advance your
musical skills,  or just looking for new songs to enjoy with family and
friends, our chord videos can be both fun and instructional." 

Powered by patent-pending technology, the iPlayMusic software perfectly 
synchronizes each video with a select song that can be slowed down or sped up
while maintaining pitch for learning at any pace. To ensure the legal use of
all  music featured in Chords for iTunes videos, consumers must already have 
purchased and stored one of the 26 songs in their iTunes library or on their 
computer. 

Through proprietary production techniques, videos can be added quickly to the
iPlayMusic Download Store as users request more songs. In addition, all chord
videos are optimized for mobile devices and are extremely portable in their 
visual display of animated chords and lyrics. Easy export features within the
software allow for viewing on Apple TV and mobile devices such as the iPhone
or iPod for use anywhere, anytime.

To access Chords for iTunes, simply install the Mac version of iPlayMusic's
software (at www.iplaymusic.com/download),  click on the Shop button and start
browsing. If a selected song is not already  present in your iTunes library,
the iPlayMusic software will prompt you to  purchase it from the iTunes Music
Store. Once the song is in place, simply click  the playback button and let
the jamming begin.
