MONTREAL – Stingray Digital launched the first Canadian-owned, commercial-free mobile streaming music service Tuesday.
Known as Galaxie Mobile, the new service offers all of Galaxie’s 45 commercial and talk-free music channels which span a variety of styles such as pop, rock, classical, jazz, and country in both French and English. It also includes interactive controls that allow listeners the ability to skip songs or purchase songs directly on iTunes via the Galaxie Mobile player.
The service costs $4.99 per month, $9.99 for a three month period, or $39.99 for an annual subscription. The free app is available in Canada for the Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and all Android devices. The same apps will also soon be available to customers in the U.S., and on other devices such as the BlackBerry.
“Now Canadians can enjoy all the Galaxie music they play at home while they’re on the move, from coast to coast,” said Stingray Digital president Eric Boyko, in the announcement. “Galaxie Mobile not only expands the music experience for millions of current Galaxie listeners, but also extends it to new listeners.”
