Crowdmix is a new app that helps users connect with other music lovers. Not only can users share their love of a favorite band or artist, but they can also stream music through the app for a more interactive social networking experience.
Crowdmix is organized according to different communities that are based around specific genres and musicians. In these groups, users can chat with one another, share music and view the charts. The app also connects with services such as YouTube, Spotify and iTunes so that users can play music directly through the app. The idea is to create a niche social network that revolves solely around music.
While the app is currently only available to select users, it does demonstrate the growing demand for niche social networks catering to different interest groups.
