Napster and Voxtok join forces to bring a unique music experience to TV
Las Vegas, January 4th, 2018 – Napster, a provider of streaming music services and
solutions, and Voxtok, which recently joined the Netgem Group as its dedicated Sound
Division for innovative musical entertainment in TV and audio sectors, are joining their
expertise and complementary offerings to create a unique new musical experience based on
multiple sources and contextualized services.
This global partnership with Napster enables Voxtok to further innovate and reinforce its
two flagship products, Voxtok Music and SoundBox.
Voxtok Music enhances the listener’s music experience with its openness to all music
sources (such as streaming, files, radio, and podcasts), gathering related content that includes
music videos, concert streaming and ticketing, and music listening to build an entirely new
experience.
SoundBox is a smart soundbar, a breakthrough product merging TV, video, and music services
and content, including vinyl! Fully integrated with Voxtok Music, this compact multi-room
device integrates advanced TV and video capabilities, with features such as wireless
connectivity, multi-screen apps, and support for Alexa voice control. SoundBox recognizes the
vinyl record you are currently playing and provides additional content and services related to
the album or artist.
Napster recently integrated its music catalog and rich metadata for over 40 million titles in to
the Voxtok environment, creating an enhanced experience and seamless integration of all
Voxtok Music features. Service-content features are “cross-contextualized”, meaning that they
are linked to other content if they share common ground, regardless of the source.
“We are pleased to work with Voxtok to bring better entertainment experiences to users with
unique, easy-to-use device and music service integrations. Napster’s commitment to
powering innovative music solutions on behalf of partners is further demonstrated by this new
relationship“, says Bill Patrizio, CEO of Napster

“We are proud to work with Napster and share the same goal, which is to make music services
better and more accessible while offering greater performance. We are pleased to share a
preview of this solution with our partners and customers at CES in Las Vegas,” adds Joel
Reboul, CEO and co-founder of Voxtok.
Voxtok Music is available for TVs, set-top boxes, and mobile terminals such as smartphones
and tablets. Voxtok has taken great care to ensure service availability in TV environments, for
both over-the-top content (OTT) and operators, making the solution flexible and capable of
integrating into mixed offerings featuring TV, video, and music.
SoundBox blends very complex and advanced technologies to rival the most evolved set-top
box solutions, while offering a wide range of connectivity options in a small-footprint audio
casing. Voxtok has begun deploying some of its SoundBox products through its parent
company, Netgem.
