HD Radio with iTunes Tagging Coming to Ford Vehicles in 2010
Ford is the first automaker to release this technology, which will not only elevate radio quality to a near-perfect CD-like audio experience, but will also enable users to simply hit a “TAG” button on the radio display to mark songs — heard on HD Radio — for future purchase.
The SNYC system can store 100 tags at a time, with data transferred to connected iPods. Once an iPod is synced with the user’s iTunes, that individual will be able to view the songs they tagged in the car, listen to previews and purchase songs via iTunes.
