Quelques site au hasard, la liste complète sur Music 🙂 ally.
Songness (8) let artists upload songs, which would then be rated by up to 200 fans, giving them an idea of whether they were any good. Or not.
Muzu TV (32) was a customisable online TV service for labels and artists, which kicked off with the likes of Beyonce and the Foo Fighters on board.
RED(WIRE) (40) was a digital music magazine, which for $5 a month gave users tracks by established and emerging artists, plus multimedia pieces – all for charity.
Surrge (61) was a “user-driven music marketing community” (as opposed to communities that aren’t user-driven?), where people signed up to be scouts, recommended songs to each other, and earned 10% of any sales revenues.
Streamzy (68) wrapped music search in a slick interface, bringing back songs and videos based on artist names, with saveable playlists.
Wixi (87) let users create their own virtual desktops with music, images, videos and other content from their home PCs – and then access it from any other computer. It had a social network built in too.
Mufin (94) served up song recommendations based on more than 40 different characteristics, including tempo, rhythm structure and instruments used.
3M30 (117) was a digital singles label set up by artist Just Jack (of Starz In Their Eyes fame), which aimed to release a new download every 4-6 weeks.
Brand Asset Digital (125) also wanted to sell ads around P2P networks, but in its case, they were search-related advertising – a bit like Google’s AdWords.
JamsMatch (138) was a cool memory game that tested how well fans remembered classic album covers, with a neat drag’n’drop interface and global high-scores.
Owngig (144) let fans club together to vote for artists they’d like to see live, then makes their wishes come true – starting with the Blow Monkeys.
Artist Exploder (156) aimed to help bands gain more fans on Facebook through viral growth. Not referring to diseases contracted on the tourbus.
Muxtape (175) was the site that kickstarted the whole online mixtape trend, letting people upload their MP3s to construct up to 12-song playlists that others could stream. A dust-up with the RIAA forced it offline, to return later in 2008 touting itself as a marketing tool for artists.
MixTurtle (185) reckoned it was the fastest MP3 search engine around, with a suitably minimalist user interface. And a nice turtle logo.
Songbird (200) finally launched late this year – the music-focused web browser is already proving powerful once you get the various add-ons.
