Inspired Broadcast Networks has created the world’s largest jukebox, offering more than two million MP3 tracks via a broadband connection.
The jukebox can also sell albums and ringtones. Eventually, the manufacturer intends it to be capable of emailing tracks. Five thousand of the new broadband jukeboxes will be in pubs around the UK within two years, replacing old-fashioned CD versions, according to the company.
“This is the most significant announcement to hit the music industry this year,” said Norman Crowley of Inspired Broadcast Networks. “Our jukebox will give venue owners better ways to entertain their customers and will also increase revenue for the music industry.”
Inspired is also the company behind The Cloud WiFi network, which offers wireless Internet access at a range of hotels and bars around the UK.
Inspired Broadcast Networks has 5 business lines:
- Itbox: the leading, truly innovative coin-operated networked entertainment, gaming and betting terminals
- Poptext: the leading mobile entertainment provider

- Inspired Marketing Services: Offering partners a great opportunity to get in front of their target audience via the itbox and our wireless platform
