BroadClip, Inc. today demoed a new Facebook plug-in application that gives Facebook users the ability to fill their portable media players with unlimited DRM-free music - legally. This new application, presented at the TechCrunch40 event, builds on the success of the FaceBook.com social networking web site, which boasts over 24 million daily users. The MediaCatcher™ application is available to all Facebook users for free. Broadclip was chosen as one of the 40 hottest new startups from over 700 applicants from around the world by industry experts from TechCrunch.com, the sponsor of the TechCrunch40 event. BroadClip CEO Sam Abadir said “The Facebook social network is a perfect environment for MediaCatcher, because music is so personal and subjective. Although there are many socially enabled playlist sharing sites on the web and on FaceBook, MediaCatcher is the first and only application that actually captures the music that friends have recommended, and delivers it seamlessly to the users iPod. Every hour of every day, thousands of songs are broadcast over Internet radio, but until now it has been impossible to sift through the 20,000+ stations and find the music you want.” Abadir continued “With MediaCatcher, my Facebook friends can see my favorite music and with a simple click, their PC will capture that music the next time it is played on Internet radio. Once it is captured, the music can be enjoyed anywhere, using an iPod, iPhone or cell phone. In essence, MediaCatcher is a time-shifting tool like a TiVo™, but it is much more intelligent because it is connected to the social network.” BroadClip’s MediaCatcher is not a P2P or file sharing network, it is a radically different type of media search and delivery service. BroadClip’s patent pending MobSearch™ technology enables it to find and automatically capture the music directly to the user’s PC. First-time users can expect to capture dozens of songs within 24 hours, with very high accuracy. MediaCatcher is completely legal because consumers have the “fair use” right to personally record content to their personal computers and to listen to that content whenever and wherever they want. MediaCatcher simply automates the process. The MediaCatcher Facebook application is available now on the FaceBook website, and is offered at no charge. To get it, users simply browse the FaceBook applications menu for “BroadClip MediaCatcher” and click “Install”. Presently, the application works on Windows PCs; OSX and Linux versions are in beta testing. The application works with all Apple iPods, including the iPhone, all other popular media players supporting MP3 files, as well as multimedia-enabled cell phones such as the Motorola RaZR, Palm Treo, and Samsung Blackjack.
