intact.
"Online slide shows are among the
most popular, viral forms of online user-generated content, but many

can easily collaborate and build slide shows that engage a broader community",

Slide Shows allows artists to create a musical slide show, post it and
let fans add their own photos and then share with more friends. Fliptrack
is already a proven venue for artists to promote and consumers to discover
great music. Now we provide an even deeper connection between artists
and their fans."
At launch, Fliptrack will be featuring
new music from artists including; Trey Songz, Yung Joc, Danity Kane
from Making the Band 4, KT Tunstall and The Crystal Method allowing
fans a new and cutting edge means to interact with and share the artist's
original creations. Users will also be able to interact with the group
slide shows via the artist's websites and Myspace pages.
Geoff Barnett, Manager of The Crystal
Method states, "it's increasingly important to find new and innovative
ways to expose people to music. Our past and present efforts with Fliptrack
have allowed us to be online and interactive and produced growing, upward
trends regarding conversion rates." Barnett goes on to add, "Fliptrack

and connect with music in exciting ways."
