Yahoo!Xtra now plays your favourite tune

Yahoo!Xtra Music, New Zealand’s most comprehensive all-in-one site for
music lovers has launched. The localised site offers Kiwis the ability to
personalise the website to best suit their particular musical taste.

“With Yahoo!Xtra Music we can bring New Zealanders their favourite music
and many other music related features, all from the one easy to navigate
site,” says Kevin Bowler, CEO Yahoo!Xtra.

Yahoo!Xtra Music users simply log on to the Music homepage using their
Yahoo! or Telecom Internet username and password to watch and rate videos
and create personalised play-lists. Each time a user logs in to their
account they are presented with music videos that reflect their ratings.
The more videos people rate, the more likely the recommendations will
match the users’ taste.

Telecom GM of Broadband, Ralph Brayham says “We’re bringing the world’s
best music to New Zealanders for free. Yahoo!Xtra Music is a reflection of
a great partnership bringing fantastic value to our internet customers.”

Other features of the site include Kiwi and international music blogs, the
latest industry news and live streaming of local radio stations such as
George FM, The Rock FM and More FM.
