Stumble Streaming Indie Music

Stumbleaudio

— July 24, 2008 — Pop Culture
Stumbleaudio is a new music version of the wildly popular Stumbleupon which lets you "stumble" recommended websites found by other people.

Stumbleaudio cleverly uses the same prefix to show that the site works the same way as the original Stumble. What is different about Stumbleaudio is that members get to discover Indie music. The chances are good the music is something people have not heard before. Users are not asked what their favourite artist or song is, but what channels they like - jazz, hiphop etc. The "station" then comes up with other artists in that category.

Just like Stumbleupon, members can either give a thumbs up or down, or stumble for a new selection. There is no limit to how many you can skip and there are a lot to check out.

Stumbleaudio had a catalog of over 120,000 artists and 2 million songs at its launch. The site also offers the ability to savour every song in an artist's album. The music is bought through MP3 download sites and CDs via links on the site.
Trend Themes
1. Indie Music Discovery - Stumbleaudio's innovative approach to music streaming allows users to discover and explore indie music artists they may not have heard before.
2. Personalized Music Stations - Stumbleaudio's channel-based selection process creates personalized music stations tailored to users' preferred genres, opening up opportunities for targeted music recommendations.
3. Thumbs Up/down Feedback - Stumbleaudio's feature that allows users to give thumbs up or thumbs down feedback on songs and artists provides valuable data for refining music recommendations and enhancing user experience.
Industry Implications
1. Music Streaming - Stumbleaudio's indie music discovery platform disrupts traditional streaming models by focusing on personalized channels and enabling users to explore new genres and artists.
2. Digital Music Commerce - Stumbleaudio's integration with MP3 download sites and CD links offers opportunities for partnerships and affiliate marketing, driving revenue in the digital music commerce industry.
3. Data Analytics and Personalization - Stumbleaudio's collection and analysis of user feedback and preferences creates opportunities for data-driven personalization and targeted marketing in the music industry.
