New Signatunes allows posting any song you can think of!

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

A new FoxyTunes version is here, and it introduces more options for signing your mails and blog posts with music.

Say you’re writing an email, and would like to sign it with the song that was playing 10 minutes ago. Until now, you had to go back and play that song again in order to be able to sign with it. But what if you heard this song on an Internet radio and there’s no way to go back? The new FoxyTunes version allows you to choose any song from your recent playback history and post it as a Signatune.

Better yet, say you’re writing someone an email and want to send them a subliminal music message with your Signatune, for example:

———————-
Now playing: The Doors - Hello, I Love You

The new version allows you to insert any song you can think of as a Signatune - just open the “Post any song” dialog and enter the song name.

The latest version also adds Signatunes support for the new Gmail and Yahoo Mail versions.

Signatunes - music signatures with FoxyTunes

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Today we’re releasing the first phase of what will soon become FoxyTunes 3.0. In this first release we’re introducing a cool new feature called “Signatunes“.

Signatunes

Signatunes allows signing your email messages and blog posts with your currently playing music. Why would you want to do that? Letting your friends know what you were listening to while writing the message is a great way to tell them about your mood, or introduce them to one of your favorite songs. The added music signature is more just a song title – it links to FoxyTunes Planet where your friends can listen to music and learn all there is to know about your favorite artists and songs.

So, how does Signatunes work? FoxyTunes adds a special icon to web mail sites, Blogging services and social networks, such as Facebook, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo mail, Wordpress and many others. This allows you to add a music signature to your message with a click. There is also an ‘auto-insert’ mode, which allows you to automatically add a Signatune to every message you compose. If you already have a preset signature – don’t worry, Signatune doesn’t replace your existing signature – it’s added to the end of the message following the message body and any existing signatures.

Initially, the following services are supported:

Facebook Notes, Mail MySpace Blogs
WordPress Yahoo! Mail
AOL Mail Hotmail
Gmail Horde Webmail
SquirrelMail  

In the future, we are planning to add Signatunes to many more sites, Blogging and webmail services, forums and so on.

Signatunes is available in the latest version of FoxyTunes for Firefox – check it out and let us know what you think!
