If you find you are too busy to listen to new music on a regular basis, this platform shows you new songs daily based on your favorite genres. Currently in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, A Song A Day curates new songs based on recommendations from real people.
Essentially the community (referred to as "a rag tag team of curators") picks songs for other people who like the same genre. Your inbox receives these new songs daily. Users will receive Youtube clips and a short note. You can also sign up to be a curator online by filling out a brief survey. Founder Sharon Byrne vets the applications and also compiles all the recommendations.
The human touch of this service is the highest priority.
