Hitlantis' Advanced User Interface is Adopted by Others

HELSINKI, August 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The international internet website and music service Hitlantis.com, with the unique user interface it developed a year ago, has attracted worldwide attention and interest since its launch. Now a new, recently announced music service in the U.S. and Canada, Rdio, has decided to adopt the proven user interface.

The bubble-like graphical interface developed by Hitlantis inspired the creators of Rdio, who decided to facilitate their customers' music listening experience by adopting the modern user interface.

Popular artists rise to the top and less-popular artists slip downward in the interface developed by Hitlantis. At Hitlantis, popular artists are closer to the center than less popular artists.

"Rdio's decision to adopt our design is a fine recognition of its merits. We're delighted that the visual presentation style created by Hitlantis will be followed," said managing director Marcus Tilgmann.

The world's most attractive service

The international company Hitlantis focuses on independent bands who do not yet have a recording contract. You can listen to streaming music for free, but you also can download the music by purchasing the bands' songs.

Hitlantis' bands receive an amazing 90 percent of the revenue from their music, which has led to it being called "the world's most generous music site." Artists who own the rights to their own music can upload their music for free to Hitlantis, which is considered the world's most attractive music service.

"With the help of Hitlantis' user interface Rdio succeeded in their North American launch," Tilgmann says with satisfaction, and notes that the applications are concrete examples of Web 4.0 thinking.

American television giants CNBC and CBS selected Hitlantis, the creator of a new era in its field, as the most innovative music service; this distinction naturally reached the ears of Rdio's creators.

Hitlantis is a new music community, established in May 2010. The service brings together music-makers and consumers in a virtual world, and also in real life. It gives users, for example, the opportunity to vote for their favorites for live gigs. The user-friendly e-commerce music site Hitlantis notably gives bands 90 percent of the revenue from music sold.
