http://cubic.fm http://cubic.fm connects different music sources in a single player and helps users build a globally accessible online music library. Launched the public beta a week ago. we want users to be able to -Create an online music library, independent of the source providing the content. -Build it further by collecting any track discovered anywhere on the web. -Access and interact with other users' libraries, no matter which service they use or subscribe to.

  Hey, I tried this out. There are some solid playlists in there. A couple things I found confusing: - I don't have flash installed in Safari (comes packaged in Chrome) and there was no explanation as to why music didn't play back when I was in Safari - initially Rdio playback was limited to 30s samples even though I had my Rdio account linked. I think I fixed this by logging into Rdio in the same browser session, but not certain

  Any plans to pull in Last.fm? I've got almost 10 years of listening data on Last.fm I'd love to use as seed data for recommendations.
  - onuryavuz 12y ago
    Yep, within a week or so you will be able to connect your last.fm account. All your available data on last.fm will be imported into your library in cubic.fm. I'll let you know when it's done! Thanks!

  I love music startups (doing one myself). Is it similar to what Bop.fm are trying to do, but more around having a entire library of music (like a cloud-based iTunes)? Drop me an email (in my profile) if you're keen to chat.
  - onuryavuz 12y ago
    Exactly! The majority of companies in the music industry are aware of the problems driven by the fragmented setup. Some react by offering additional features for user retention. Others continue to drive the fragmentation further. New companies emerge, focusing on eliminating this setup. (bop.fm is one of them. check : tomahawk, wyhd and kollekt.fm) This fragmentation though, is more the user’s problem than the industry’s. We start by accepting that music consumption, discovery and sharing has to be fragmented. Our competitors misperceive this problem and conclude that ‘sharing’ is broken in music. Taking a step backward, we know that the core problem is that ‘music consumption’ is broken. On-demand services, download services, discovery services, terrestrial radio.. They are all complementary products from and end user perspective. This is why we accept that a user needs access to all these services and fulfil different consumption habits. This should not prevent a user to create a music library; accessible from anywhere and anyone. The users need an online Winamp! Email is in your inbox! Thanks!

I'm working on an "escrow"/invoicing site + app for remodeling and repair contractors. They have big cash flow problems and often require homeowners to pay up front (don't do that). Homeowners benefit through better customer service and less risk of a contractor stealing from them. I applied solo, so I wasn't holding my breath. Congratulations to the teams that got in. I'm excited to see what you build.

Anyways we will apply again in the next round, YC is very important for us to get the right advice and move in the right direction.
