Sharing Music Live

NEED
The idea of listening music at the same time through a smartphone without being in the same place. Like doing FaceTime but instead with music.

DESCRIPTION
It will probably be an app on your phone that can synchronize what everyone is listening in a specific channel. It is like becoming your own radio station.

POTENTIAL
"Spotify launched just over a year ago in the United States (July 14, 2011) and during that time has garnered more than three million U.S. users, with roughly 20% of them paying subscribers." by Hisham Dahud 

Music Launchpad

NEED
In general most songs are not communicating the right message. We are wasting a mass communication channel. Imagine if we could have a platform that could help artist co-create songs with its users or fans. Similar to the ideas behind crowd sourcing but with the artist being the mastermind behind the creation.

DESCRIPTION
It will need to be a platform similar to a kickstarter but for artistic creation where the users will have to release all rights to the artist that is managing the process. I imagine having different groups of users trying to push certain messages through music.

POTENTIAL
In 2012 the global music market represented US$16B in retail sales.
