MXP4′s game-like app technology to be integrated with Push Entertainment’s service for increased fan engagement and music revenue opportunities.

MXP4 today announced a partnership with Push Entertainment, provider of enhanced and bonus digital content solutions for the music industry.

The partnership will give labels and artists the opportunity to include MXP4′s game-like interactive music applications in the services they commission from Push Entertainment. Push Entertainment offers industry standard solutions for labels and artists looking to connect the physical world of CDs, DVDs, mobile, iPads and more with the digital world. These services, which range from incentivized data capture to delivery of bonus content, have been utilized by major labels on campaigns for artists including Mika, Justin Bieber and U2, and by Disney on campaigns for Miley Cyrus.

Albin Serviant, MXP4 CEO, said: “This latest partnership brings us further into the US market as we pursue our MXP4 Everywhere roadmap, aiming to make MXP4 available across all digital music platforms globally. Our apps, which turn music into an interactive experience as attention-holding and compelling as a game, are proven to build fan engagement, encourage viral distribution and ultimately drive sales. As such, MXP4 will enhance Push Entertainment’s platform and provide the music industry with the most comprehensive suite of marketing tools available anywhere. We’re proud to be partnering with Push Entertainment and taking another significant step towards making our applications the standard for interactive music.”

Simon Scott, Director, Push Entertainment commented “We regard MXP4 as being the global leader in interactive music tools and are excited about working with them to deliver enhanced experiences to our global customer base. Our clients have reached over 5 million consumers using our platform and the interactivity afforded by MXP4 will increase revenue generating opportunities for them.”

Is there any need for a new audio format? …
Is there any need for a new codec? …
Is there any need to duplicate the physical album experience into the digital era? …

I am afraid … NOT. Weird statement coming from the CEO of mxp4? maybe not…
Debates should be more and more focused – again and again – on the music experience: how consumers enjoy their preferred music, how consumers make it their own, how consumers share it with friends, how music fits to your mood … how consumers play with it.
iTunes is great because it is simple, user friendly, exciting and more and more personal. Who cares about the format behind? Format is a disposable item because of a very low perceived value.
Apple LP is an interesting development,
but the concept cleaves to the idea of the album as an artifact that
still has resonance today, when new solution like MXP4 – and even
the iPhone – is completely shifting the idea of how a collection of
music can be consumed. It’s quite a passive experience — look at
photos and videos, read lyrics – when a lot consumers are looking for
much more engagement and interactivity.

Premium packages on distribution platform apparently outsells classic ones.
Interesting data! This is what I have done for most of the recent albums I bought (The Last one being Muse …).
Having said that, I cannot remember the PDF file which was downloaded at the same time. Am I supposed to print it on a very nice paper? back to the old days :) !
Exciting time isn’t it?
