TuneGenie

What TuneGenie does

TuneGenie, operated by MusicToGo, LLC, is a New York-based media technology platform that converts standard websites into unified, app-like media player experiences. Its core offering is a patented persistent player bar that enables streams, podcasts, and videos to play continuously while users browse a website, eliminating overlapping media playback and the standard pop-out player experience. The company serves two primary customer segments: broadcasters (radio stations seeking to keep audiences on their owned web properties) and podcasters (content creators seeking direct audience relationships and diversified monetization beyond third-party platforms).

The platform's technical architecture centers on a single content management system that drives desktop websites, mobile websites, and native mobile apps from one source, ensuring consistent content and user experience across all three surfaces. Key features include Instant Apps that bypass app stores by downloading directly from mobile websites, a Content Tray that surfaces playlists and episode navigation, Music Discovery that syncs real-time now-playing data to artist, lyric, and concert content, and Stream Autostart that converts on-demand listening into stream audience. TuneGenie holds two U.S. patents (US 10,055,508 and US 10,673,771) protecting the persistent player bar technology, with additional foreign and pending applications disclosed.

TuneGenie operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion via its website sign-up form, with subscription pricing that varies by customer type (terrestrial broadcast station, streamer, or publisher). Revenue is generated through recurring platform subscriptions and an indirect ad-revenue enhancement effect from keeping audiences engaged on customer websites. Reported scale metrics include 1,833 total clients, approximately 99,321 songs discovered through the platform, over 1,000,032 streams broadcasted, and 593 podcasts brought to life on the platform. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding rounds.
