Digital music company 7digital has partnered with QNX, a specialist in software platforms for in-car electronics, to make its HTML5 music store accessible through the QNX CAR app platform.

 The integration of the 7digital platform enables automotive manufacturers to build digital music stores directly into QNX-powered in-car infotainment systems – which are currently in use by manufacturers including Audi, BMW, GM, and Toyota.

“Connected and mobile devices have changed the way music is consumed, but one thing that hasn’t is people’s desire to listen to music in the car,” comments Ben Drury, CEO of 7digital. “We’re already working with partners in the automotive sector and now, for the first time, automotive companies using the QNX CAR platform can leverage our HTML5 music store, where their customers can access the largest collection of digital music from the convenience of their vehicles.”
