Sound-Specific Music Platforms

The Hive is a Song Discovery App Geared to a User's Tastes

— May 3, 2016 — Tech
Since many consumers don't have the time to spare to hunt for new music on a regular basis, the Hive song discovery app is an ideal solution providing users with fresh content that is geared to their specific music taste. The app curates lists of songs, artists and genres for consumers to browse through with a user interface that is designed similar to Tinder. Users are given a 30-second clip of the song to listen to, and then can swipe either left or right to add the song to their library or disregard it.

The swiping interface allows consumers to quickly preview songs and deicide if they like them, while the platform is able to recognize what styles the user likes.

Platforms such as the Hive take out the bulk work of hunting for personalized content by learning the user's preferences and tastes through a gamified interface.
Trend Themes
1. Sound-specific Music Platforms - The rise of music discovery apps that curate personalized playlists for users based on their unique listening habits presents an opportunity for incorporating AI-driven recommendation systems to enhance and personalize user experience.
2. Gamified Interfaces for Personalized Music Discovery - The trend of gamifying music discovery interfaces can be leveraged by businesses to keep customers engaged and provide recommendations tailored to their preferences through incentivizing user participation.
3. Automated Music Curation Based on User Preferences - There is an emerging consumer demand for automated music curation based on one's mood and personal tastes; the development of AI-driven algorithms that can provide recommendations in real-time would offer seamless and personalized music experiences to a wide range of users.
Industry Implications
1. Music Streaming Services - Music streaming services could invest in machine learning and recommendation systems to curate user-specific playlists that offer personalized and engaging music experiences, while keeping users engaged with gamified interfaces to incentivize participation and utilization.
2. Mobile Application Development - Mobile app developers have the opportunity to design and create personalized music discovery apps that integrate AI-powered recommendation systems and gamified interfaces, providing users with new levels of engagement, entertainment and satisfaction.
3. Advertising and Marketing - Advertising and marketing industries can utilize sound-specific music platforms as a part of digital campaigns that leverage user-specific preferences in music to offer unique interactive experiences designed to connect with consumers on a more personal level and provide more effective ad targeting.
