Each month more than half of consumers watch at least one online video per month (eMarketer, 2011) and today analysts are reporting that three times as many people are streaming music videos as downloading music (Nielsen, 2011). With the continued increase in online multimedia consumption and the battle around digital media rights heating up, consumers and professionals alike are searching for a simple, affordable means to play their favorite content.

"Taglists' Artists' Tool was developed in close partnership with leading independent artists and labels to provide professionals a turn-key way to share content that fans can consume for free - without violating any piracy laws," said Alec Marshal, vice president of marketing at Eye-C Taglists. "We've created a way for people to build out playlists and yet it doesn't circumvent the artist's ownership of material or hinder them from gaining commercial ownership. Our goal is to transform the media consumption experience - by taking the best of both the streaming and download models - in a way that's just as affordable, accessible and personalized for users."

Taglists takes the hassle out of staying connected with online audiences with a simple-to-use interface that allows professional users to quickly create and promote channels of their media from multiple sources - including Facebook, SoundCloud, YouTube and more. Fans simply push "Play" and the Taglist will stream onto their mobile phone, connected TV, and set top box. Audiences can even post comments, add their own photos, songs, and videos, and share the Taglist - creating an entirely social, viral and interactive experience.

Praise for Eye-C Taglists:

"Eye-C is a mind-blowing new tool for both independent and established artists alike. It makes the painstaking process of connecting with fans simple and efficient," said Trevor Simpson, co-founder of World Town Records and a top-selling electronic music producer who has worked with pre-eminent artists including Lady Gaga, David Guetta, LMFAO and more. "Before Eye-C we'd update Facebook and Twitter multiple times a day, and fans had to open the links to see or hear anything. Now we just tag a new music video or recent event photos, and our followers can play it instantly - on devices that actually sound great!"

"We wanted to get people talking and build some buzz around the 'Naked' single and my album release, so we've been working hard in our social networks," said Dev, whose highly anticipated debut album, "The Night the Sun Came Up," is slated for release March 2012. "I liked using Taglists because it gives us a new way to talk with fans on Facebook and Twitter. Instead of just plain status updates, we can use videos and songs to build playlists with the audience. Instead of a bunch of links, they get to play with the new music and videos. Very cool."

"We're focused on finding amazingly talented artists and building the credibility and reputation they need to move into the mainstream," said Carlo Fox of Indie-Pop Records. "Outside of radio play, nothing works better for that than social networking, and nothing gets shared more in social networking than music, videos, and pictures. We think Taglists is pretty radical, because it combines all of those functions - it plays like a radio station, connects like a social network, and focuses on the music and videos that people love."

"Our listeners can't wait to check out the latest game trailers and screenshots," said Omaha Sternberg, head editor for gaming site iGame Radio. "Taglists turns the chore of tweeting, Facebooking, and posting about game links into the ease of creating one list for everything. Now our favorite game videos and screens can be sent in one handy list to all our friends."
