Listen.com buys streaming technology

Listen.com is buying TuneTo.com, a streaming media infrastructure company that helps improve audio quality for music services. The buy signals another step away from Listen.com's original music-recommendation services toward its new Net radio and other online music syndication services. Initially, the technology will be used to improve Listen.com's own Net radio services. But the company is also looking at ways to offer music-on-demand and wireless-based music services. The companies provided no financial details on the transaction.
