Ford, who recently announced dealer installed WiFi in Sync-enabled vehicles, has now announced that some vehicles will have HD radio and iTunes tagging in 2010.
Ford is the first automaker to announce this technology which will turn normal radio into nearly CD-quality sound with an added bonus of being able to tag songs for later purchase on iTunes. And it is a very simple process as well. Users simply need to hit the “TAG” button on the radio display when they hear a song they want to purchase. The vehicle is able to store up to 100 “tags” so unless you decide you like every single song you hear as you drive from California to New York, you should be fine.
Once you hit that tag button, the data is transferred to a connected iPod. Then, once you sync your iPod to your iTunes, you’ll be able to view all the songs you tagged and decide if you like them enough to purchase them or not.
So now, if your like me and always tell yourself “Ok, I want this song!” as your driving down the road but forget by the time you got home, you are in luck. Ford is promising amazing quality music and the ability to purchase it later. Pretty cool in my opinion. Big question though, if your in a car that is a roaming hotspot, why would you need to tag your songs if you can just pull up your laptop and purchase them before you go into the hardware store?
