Tunigo reflects the trend toward simplicity in music discovery. Like Deezer, Spotify has recently added features that allow users to follow artists like they would friends on social networks. Spotify outsourced music discovery to third-party developers when it launched apps in November 2011. In its early years, Spotify did very little handholding, instead counting on its users to find music through their social networks. Music services have been going to great lengths to make it far easier for their users to find music to fit their interests and moods. Twitter #Music, Hands-On: The Good and the Badĭiscovery is the future of digital music. The Beats Electronics-owned on-demand service with the interim name Daisy, expected out later this year, is betting it can differentiate itself through improved forms of discovery and curation. Twitter has also ventured into music discovery through its acquisition of We Are Hunted, which resulted in interactive, dynamic charts of trending music called Twitter #music. A growing market exists for services and features that make the immense amount of digital music smaller and more manageable. The acquisition is good news for music discovery services and their investors. Business Matters: Why Would Spotify Get Into The Video Business?
