SYNC to offer iTunes tagging through HD radio
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: CES, Technology, Ford
Here’s another first for Ford after the revelation of its motion-capturing software: The Blue Oval will be the first to offer iTunes tagging through iPods on SYNC-equipped vehicles. Right behind the announcement of mobile Internet connectivity being added to SYNC, this will go along with the package of mobile apps the carmaker will reveal at CES next month.
The way it works: if you you have SYNC with HD radio, when you hear a song you like on an HD station you can press the ‘Tag’ button, and the system will note the track. When you plug your iPod in, it will suck up all of those tracks in a ‘Tagged’ playlist. You can have another listen through them and then buy the ones you want from iTunes.
There are other makes of vehicles that will let you record songs directly onto the car’s hard drive for a fixed amount of time, but you can’t really do anything with the recording after that. Ford’s setup won’t get you that immediate satisfaction, but it will save you a few steps. You can read the press release on the new – and free – feature (provided you’ve paid for SYNC and the HD-equipped head unit) after the jump.
