Soundnet and Sound Leisure partner with Last.fm for innovative new service

Today, we’re delighted to announce a ground-breaking venture, in conjunction with Sound Leisure, with global musical service Last.fm. The partnership will see VenueHub customers access their online profiles via an innovative new application on our digital jukeboxes.

The application, which was developed by our partners at Sound Leisure, gives consumers the opportunity to access their Last.fm profiles from any of the VHub jukeboxes in the United Kingdom. It enables customers to quickly and easily listen to their favourite music from the 30,000 song library, as well as receive recommendations and view the profiles and track selections of other VHub customers. Customers will also be able to arrange tracks into ‘top artist’, ‘top tracks’ and ‘loved tracks categories’. The application is the first example of a V-App which takes licensed data from a third-party provider.

Speaking about the partnership, our friends at Sound Leisure said:

“The Last.fm app provides jukebox users with immediate access to the music they listen to at home and on their mobile devices. This is a great leap forward for the industry and shows our commitment to provide V-Apps that enhance the customer experience.

“Last.fm is a huge music brand with millions of followers worldwide; the new app will help to cement VHub’s standing as the most advanced digital jukebox available.”

Last.fm is the free online music service, offering its 30 million plus users the opportunity to document their playlist history from a variety of different musical services. The application, developed by Sound Leisure, will be available on all VHub jukeboxes (free of charge) from February.
