The Kids Think YouTube Is a Music Service — and They’re Right

Market research firm Nielsen released its latest “Music 360” study this week, bringing a few revelations about how people discover and enjoy music these days. Among them: While only seven percent of music fans of all ages use YouTube to discover music, a whopping 64 percent of teens prefer to do their music listening on…

Apple’s Decision to Drop YouTube from iOS Is a Big Deal for Music, Apps

When the very first iPhone shipped, literally changing the world as we knew it, it carried a little Trojan horse inside of it called YouTube. The app for Google’s video sharing site comes standard with every single iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, but all of that ends with the next version of Apple’s mobile operating…

The Beatles are on YouTube, as is just about every other band you've heard of. Would you pay to turn YouTube into a better-sounding music service?

Would You Pay for Better Sound on YouTube?

A Twitter person recently said that they would pay for a premium version of Twitter. We can’t remember who it was. Sorry, that person. But their comment started us thinking: What other free things might be worth paying for, under the right circumstances? In our case, it might be a great-sounding version of YouTube. This…

Unreleased Rage++ iPad App, Designed for Party Music, Does Not Enrage Us

We’ll stop writing about all the neat stuff to emerge from Music Hack Day Sydney at some point, but I’m not done with this thing yet, even as my jetlag is finally waning. Although this latest iteration of the Music Hack Day series produced only just north of 20 functional apps, they were all humdingers….

Soundtastic Serves Up ‘Pop-Up Video’ and Smart Radio from YouTube

First, let us note that you cannot yet use Soundtastic, built by Eric Bae at Music Hack Day Sydney this past weekend. But we witnessed a fully-functional demonstration, and it was pretty impressive. Bae likens his creation to “StumbleUpon for music,” and in a way, he’s right. Soundtastic mines your Facebook page for your Likes, then starts…

Ivy, Like InstaPaper for Music, Turns Web into Rdio Party Playlists

We were mightily impressed with the music apps created at Music Hack Day Sydney — the first such hackathon ever to be held in the southwestern hemisphere. The latest to float our boat: Ivy, a web app that lets friends or coworkers add songs to a group playlist that they can all hear at the same…

Anonymous Responds to Criticism of Its Music App, Anontune

Anonymous — yes, the people with the funny masks whom Time magazine recently named one of the “most influential people in the world” — appears to have released a music app. Anontune (demo here), the work of software developers who claim to be a part of the collective, works by “automating what most people do online…

Plug.dj Adds Video to the Turntable.fm Concept, But Will Anybody Care?

What an original idea: A bunch of rooms where cute little avatars can DJ music to each other! That’s what we said last May, before breaking the news (we think) about Turntable.fm, after surprising its cofounder Billy Chasen with a call to his cellphone. If you’ve tried the social DJ web or iOS app Turntable.fm,…

Radio on the TV: KCRW Curates Music on YouTube

We heard it again at the Digital Music Forum East conference earlier this week: YouTube, which most people consider to be a general video site, is where “the kids” go to hear music these days. It’s arguable the biggest music service in the world, even though it lacks a premium tier, and includes only fairly…

The Most Important Music App Nobody’s Talking About

In order for a technology to take off these days, it has to be simple. Twitter, Facebook, iTunes, Spotify — each can be summed up in a sentence or so and readily understood from the very first time you use it. Tomahawk is more complicated, but if you’re a music fan who listens to music…

In 2011, we said goodbye to Evolver.fm's old, black-background design, launched a directory of music apps, and posted these stories and many others.

Evolver.fm’s Top 5 Most-Read Stories of 2011

This was the first full year of Evolver.fm, which we recently redesigned with a new, cleaner look, and the world’s first cross-platform directory of music apps with categories, reviews, videos, and more. To celebrate, we figured we’d take a look at Evolver.fm’s top five stories of 2011, as chosen by our readers. (Note: This doesn’t…

This photo depicts RightsFlow's 2010 holiday party; this year's will likely be jollier still, thanks to the company's recent acquisition by Google.

Google Buys RightsFlow for Music on YouTube

Google announced on Friday that it has purchased the music licensing company RightsFlow for its detailed information about who should get paid when any of over 30 million songs get played. Neither Google nor Rightsflow would comment on the deal beyond their official statements, but we have pieced together some of the reasons Google would…

Why Would Google Sell Music? 4 Big Reasons

Google will announce a music service this afternoon in Los Angeles. Evolver.fm won’t make good on our invite, but instead plan to watch a private webcast of the announcement, which appears to be a rather poorly-kept secret. According to Bloomberg and others, Google’s music store will do the same thing Amazon and iTunes do: sell individual…

The New SOPA Copyfight: What You Need To Know

We wrote this post on October 25 and are re-promoting it a part of the SOPA blackout protest. It’s important to note that the bill has been revised to apply only to foreign sites, however that would appear to protect MegaUpload.com and other sites that are registered as U.S. domains — another reason to wonder…
