SAN FRANCISCO, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- GoFish Technologies(TM), Inc., a leader in digital media search and discovery, today announced the availability of the GoFish Global Playlist Publisher(TM), the world's first freely available web-based tool for publishing music playlists from popular music media player applications such as Apple iTunes(R), Windows Media Player(R), MusicMatch(R), Napster(R), and Winamp(R). With the GoFish Global Playlist Publisher(TM) digital music enthusiasts now have an automated tool to easily publish, share, browse, critique, and purchase playlists with millions of other music enthusiasts worldwide.

The GoFish Global Playlist Publisher is platform-independent and works with virtually all leading desktop media players. With just a few clicks, consumers can submit their existing custom-made music playlists to the GoFish search platform where their playlists will appear in GoFish search results across multiple web sites like Icerocket.com, Campux.com, Startnow.com, and GoFish.com. Playlists will be ranked by popularity and users who submit playlists can log-in to see how popular their playlists are across the community. Additional functionality allows individuals to instantly publish their playlists, including album art and 30 second audio samples, to popular blog platforms such as Blogger.com, LiveJournal, MySpace.com, Typepad, and Xanga.
