Clear Channel has announced that all of its 350 HD2 radio stations are now compatible with iTunes Tagging, allowing songs played on those stations to be added to an iPod when tagged by a tagging capable receiver.
“With radio now well established in the digital age, innovation is a priority at Clear Channel Radio, which is why we developed technology to make iTunes Tagging possible,” said John Hogan, president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio. “With 700 of our HD stations now tagging-capable, and because of our collaboration with iTunes, iPods can now continuously be refreshed with new songs discovered on radio.”
A recent survey from sonoro audio found that radio was still the number one way that consumers prefer to listen to music, followed by iPods, according to Clear Channel.
