SoundTracking is a social music app that enables users to post and discover music tied to contextual moments. Its Android release, launched at LeWeb 2011 in Paris, adds native Spotify and Rdio integration so users can listen to full songs instead of 30-second iTunes snippets. The Android app senses when music is playing in other Android music apps (from Google Music onwards) and offers a "View in Spotify/Rdio" option, making posting and playback more frictionless. The app is described as visually polished and leverages Android features like the back button to avoid manual app switching. SoundTracking is a product of Schematic Labs, has surpassed one million users, and has raised $4.75 million from Accel Partners, True Ventures and Softbank Capital. The company expects the integrations to expand affiliate revenue beyond iTunes into Rdio affiliate fees and may bring Spotify/Rdio features to the iPhone app if users prioritize them.
