This is something I have been waiting for! Simple and actually useful. I was skeptical at first, but being able to build a list then later listen to the song is great!<p>Besides cleaning up the site and making it look pretty, the MVP is very well executed. What are your plans for monetization?<p>Also any thoughts on building in a playlist feature to run through my entire list of songs? How about sending songs to my contacts to-do list?<p>Good job though!
I love this, and I'll use it - and I've already told everyone I know about it. And I'm very excited to see how you build on the product. To that end, here's why this app doesn't - for me - solve the main problem of remembering music:<p>When I'm listening to the radio in the car, I'll use Shazam to identify a song. But the process of sending myself that song information for future reference is far too involved (and unsafe while driving).<p>So what I really want is a Simple Shazam: As soon as it identifies a song, it emails me the information. Otherwise I never remember to check Shazam for all the music I want to buy later.<p>I haven't looked into the feasibility of the above - except to discover that many other people wish there was an API of sorts for identifying music.<p>I don't know if the above is a pain point for you or others as well; but I figure if anyone would understand the need for Simple Shazam, it's you.
Good start to a good idea. I guess music discovery can be though of as having 3 stages. 1) Hearing a song and not knowing its name 2) managing to remember the name of the song until I am ready to purchase/download it and put it on my ipod 3) and actually purchasing/downloading/getting the song on my ipod.<p>The closer you can get to solving/connecting all 3 of those the more useful your app will be to users.<p>good start though<p>like how I got a text instantly making it super easy for me to use the service
bpeters thanks for the kind words! Monetization is not a key priority, though there is a small chance to make some commission from affiliate links (as you might see through our download links).<p>We do hope to allow a playlist feature, but currently are only able to provide 'previews' of the songs versus the full songs. And YES! Recommendations to friends' lists is def where we are heading next.
