Listening In Your Car Just Got Easier: TuneIn Introduces Audio Integration with Waze
We’ve got a new Waze of doing things around here.
TuneIn is excited to announce we’re partnering with Waze as part of the beta release of the Waze Audio Player: an embedded audio player giving drivers an easy way to listen to music, podcasts, sports, news and more — all while navigating safely.
Waze is launching a full service audio player for every taste and genre by partnering with the world’s leading audio platforms to seamlessly deliver music, podcasts, audiobooks, news, and more.
In this beta release, members of Waze’s global Beta Community will be able to try out a broad selection of content from seven new partners, including TuneIn. Listen to your favorite NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA games during those unfortunate moments when you’re stuck in traffic, or rev up your rush hour with one of our 600+ exclusive streaming music stations or live news from MSNBC, CNBC, and more. Wanna binge a podcast on your next road trip? TuneIn has you covered with all of your faves, now integrated into Waze. You can control TuneIn via Waze, and vice versa! Your directions will be integrated right into your audio so you don’t miss a beat.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing the Waze Audio Player, and announcing our partnerships with the top mobile audio platforms in the industry,” said Adam Fried, Head of Global Partnerships at Waze. “We’re dedicated to giving our users the best possible experience in the car. Now we’re able to make their drives even more enjoyable by seamlessly and safely delivering their favorite audio content while they’re on the road. On top of this, our partners will also be able to create a personalized listening experience for their users by integrating with our Waze Audio Kit.”
“We are committed to being everywhere people want to listen, providing an unparalleled offering of all the genres audio lovers crave — radio, live play-by-play sports, news, podcasts and music,” said Tony Archibong, Vice President of Distribution and Business Development at TuneIn. “We are excited to partner with Waze and other industry leaders on the Waze Audio Player to further extend where people can listen to the content they love.”
Waze Audio Player will start rolling out to members of the Waze Beta Community from today, and will begin rolling out to all users in the coming weeks. To sign up to the Waze Beta Community, please follow this link.
