PingTune (formerly Tuneit) is an iPhone messaging app focused on music fans, allowing users to search sources like YouTube and SoundCloud and send specific sections of tracks or videos to friends. The app emphasizes ease of sharing on mobile by avoiding clumsy link-copying workflows. The startup is based in London’s Tech City and is led by CEO Henry Firth. Its 12-person team includes former employees of Yahoo, Spotify, Skype and Sony. PingTune intends to monetize eventually through selling mp3s and other music-related purchases. The company recently closed a seed investment to support the product.
