NuVo has added support for Last.fm and Rhapsody music service to their Music Port and Music Port Elite audio systems.
From the press release:
“NuVo Technologies has announced the addition of music subscription services Last.fm and Rhapsody to the list of internet-based streaming audio providers accessible through their award-winning Music Port and Music Port Elite devices.
A clever service for music enthusiasts, Last.fm assesses a listener’s musical taste through the individual’s song selections (both online and digitally stored on the user’s computer or other devices), and uses that profile to then recommend new music from its own vast and varied catalog. Accessing this service through the four simultaneous source streams of the Music Port components offers NuVo customers not only additional variety, but also an interactive way to further engage with music.
Additionally, the inclusion of Rhapsody, the #1 online music subscription service which hosts a still-growing catalog of over 13 million songs, continues the line’s efforts to provide end users with a limitless music selection, through a single easy-to-navigate component.”
Access to these additional features requires the latest versions of NuVo firmware.
The NuVo Music Port app is available for free in the Apple App Store. Previously retailing for $99.99, you can now download the app at no charge.
Nuvo’s Grand Concerto multi-room audio system will allow you to have up to 16 zones of audio that are fully controllable. The sleek audio keypads allow you to search through your audio sources and set the volume in every zone. The kids can listen to their iPod through the Nuvo Wired iPod Dock in the rec room while you listen to Sirius radio through your Dual AM/FM Sirius Ready Tuner in the kitchen. If you’re throwing a party, simply set your multi-room audio system to “Party Mode” and enjoy music throughout the entire house. Even outside, the SpeakerCraft OE5 One speakers are weather resistant and complement any patio décor. Get the entertainment without the hassle!
Good news for anyone with a NuVo Music Port Music Server, the Mac version of the Music Port Sync Tool is now available!Now your iTunes library will automatically populate the NuVo Music Port.
To download the new sync tool, from the Music Port (MPS4 or MPS4-E) config download new firmware version 3.0.9448.0 for the MPS4 or 3.0.9449.0 for the MPS4-E. After installation, select the new option under “Other Software” to “Install the Music Port Sync for Mac” from the config page.
Note: If an MPS4 is using a firmware older than 3.0.8083.55, updating to version 3.0.9448.0 will require a re-sync for library content previously loaded to the Music Port.
