Musicplayr offers a web music playlist service that lets users collect and listen to songs by embedding content hosted on YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, DailyMotion and music blogs rather than hosting files itself. The product targets music discovery across a fragmented web and operates without direct deals with record labels or distributors. It has exited private beta and opened to all users worldwide, including the U.S. The founders ran a prototype with 100 friends, of whom about 30 became daily users, and the team has grown to nine. Upcoming features include integration with Gracenote to infer user tastes and an iOS mobile app with a Shazam-like tagging function to add identified tracks to playlists. The company plans to adopt a freemium model eventually, likely charging heavier users for advanced features, while the service remains free today. Recent funding will be used primarily for hiring and continued product development.
