How many songs do you have in your collection that are titled "track 7" with artist "unknown" and album "unknown". Tune Up takes your music collection cleans it up for you by labeling songs and albums and even adds the cover art for you. <p> One of my favorite features is the ability to see when your favorite bands are coming to town. You can also easily watch youtube music videos of your favorite artists. <a href="http://www.tuneupmedia.com/">Go try this now...</a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i254/chadrichard1616/?action=view&current=tuneupsmall.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i254/chadrichard1616/tuneupsmall.png" border="0" alt="TuneUp"></a><br /> </p></div> PMA talks to Roxio about the Simple Star Acquisition tag:typepad.com,2003:post-52360472 2008-07-07T11:21:11-07:00 2008-07-07T11:21:11-07:00 PMA did a follow up story on Sonic's acquisition of Simple Star.

It is a great group of smart technologists and marketers who we are excited to have the opportunity to work with. Culturally there is a very strong fit. I also like they have also built their business in part through large partnerships with companies like Dell, HP &amp; Sony (so they know how important that part of our business is).</span></p> <p><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">I will be staying on with Sonic, taking on a strategy and corporate development role, which should be good fun.
