New ICI/PRO feature will make teaching even easier 🙂
To celebrate the start of year 4 we are introducing PRO/Playlists, a new benefit for our ICI/PRO Yearly Platinum Members that will make your annual membership an even better value.
By design, the primary benefit of ICI/PRO is saving you time [convenience]. We try to make it easy for passionate, yet busy Instructors to quickly find what they need to teach an awesome class.
Only ICI/PRO delivers Audio PROfiles effortlessly to your computer / iPod device via iTunes. A few clicks and the complete profile can be printed so you can Grab It, Go, & Teach a Great Class!
Perfect - except for the class music playlists... they haven't been as simple, easy or convenient as I would like. Sure, we always include a suggested playlist for every PROfile, but it can be a real time suck searching for each track, purchasing it, building the playlist and then transferring it to your iPod.
Not to mention expensive 🙁
With ten or more songs in each playlist you may be spending $20 - $30 a month on music.
That's all going to change with PRO/Playlists...
Look for ICI/Podcast #168 explaining everything on Sunday 8/7

John,
You’ve done it again… I can’t wait.
This last month I’ve told myself several times to just suck it up, spend the time and create another Chuck Cali original playlist. I truly enjoy doing it and I’ve learned so much from Barbara, Tom, Amy, Gene, and yes, even past contributors.
Still, I just could not carve out the time.
What sort of genres will be available? Can we mix and match. Will there be a cost? Platinum membership – what kind do we have now?
Playlists, Bring them on.
John,
This is wonderful, is it really true? Do I need to pinch myself?? I’m not as savvy with technology like some of you are; so, the learning curve can be quite steep for me…
Spotify sounds just waaaay too good to be true – and it’s legal?
John, what is the difference between just getting temporarily for ‘free’
and paying up to ten dollars per month? or per year? for it?
How will this effect the music laws (pending?)? Thanks for your help.
Darlene yes this is completely legal. Spotify follows the same basic model as other subscription music services… it’s just that they do it so much better than everyone else.
If you want to have the music on your iPhone/droid you need to pay the $9.95 per month.
Music licensing laws govern where music is played, not how it’s played, so I don’t think there’s any change.
I may have missed it, but if I do Spotify at $9.95 per month, can I download onto my Ipod (no iphone for me)? And I love listening to the 210 songs….I have already bought many and thanks for such a great resource, but then can’t find it in library???
I obviously am not tech savy….but fun..
Joanne Spotify works with your wireless internet so an iPod Touch works – but not the others.
