I discover far more music via online streamers (Pandora, Grooveshark, Last.fm, Stereomoood et. al) than I ever did through conventional channels.
Furthermore, feedback collection is trivial. Very few of the actual listeners would ever bother to call a radio station to request a song. Online however, I give "thumbs ups" all the time on Pandora, because there is a solid incentive: it helps to train the music selection algorithm to my personal preferences.
- paulsutter 14y agoExactly! Now let's use those mechanisms to replace record labels. - How can club owners learn what new bands to book? How can they inform all the nearby fans? - How do we get the full feedback loop going all the way back to artists? - On Pandora you only year professionally produced music. How do we get music production crowdfunded effectively? Maybe Fandalism can collect that data from the streaming providers and make it available for musicians and club owners? I would spend a ton more money on concert tickets if I could always see a list of upcoming concerts by the musicians I hear on Pandora. Surely we can do a better job then record labels of getting musicians paid.
