Sharing Music Services Emerging on Mobile Platform

Met some entrepreneurs the other week, they were looking to launch a sharing and music player app based on a successful Android app they launched that is garnering users and downloads. We were talking about how it might be hard to grab the play list from someone’s mobile iTunes. This article from Hypebot leads me to believe this has been solved to some degree (though without the player, obviously).

“SoundShare is free iOS app that helps music fans share what they’re listening to. Once you launch SoundShare, you can set it to keep track of every song you listen to in the iPod app on your iPhone/iPod Touch. These songs are shared with your SoundShare network. Founder Matt Abras describes the app as “something like what Ping should have been or Instagram meets music.” In fact, the app borrowed a lot of design inspiration from Instagram.”

The author is an entrepreneur and creator of two websites offering website creation and social updating services, OneSheet and ArtistData, goes on to mention one other service on the iOs platform, Soundtracking, which associates pictures or locations with your playlist. With Spotify invading your Facebook timeline, expect numerous social sharing services to pop up.

Interested? Soundshare and Soundtracking are free in the app store.
