iLike launches iPhone app

iLike today is launching new services for artists to connect with their fans. New features include iPhone applications, Twitter, YouTube, and MySpace syndication. Using iLike’s “turnkey system”, musicians will be able to create iLike-branded iPhone apps.

According to PCWorld:

Most of these new features, while useful, are logical additions to increase iLike’s reach into social networks. However, the addition of iLike’s iPhone application tool, the turnkey system, is an interesting development.

Instead of creating an umbrella application for users to access all iLike artists in a restricted application, the music service has instead opted to allow individual artists to create their own iPhone apps under the iLike grade.

With more than 45 million registered users and 300,000 artists, Seattle-based iLike helps public share music recommendations, playlists, and personalized concert alerts. iLike additionally runs indie music site GarageBand.com.
