Boomio: A Snapchat in the field of music sharing

The new social network may be the most unwanted service category in your life, according to technology blog Re/code, but a new service called Boomio thinks it's totally different from other services and attracts you to use it. Boomio recently made a formal debut at the Code/mobile conference, which allows you to share the entire original song with a friend or group, and you can also attach your personal message. The receiver will be able to play the song, but it will be destroyed once it is played, and then you can share it with other people, buy the music, or send another song to the original one. Boomio is the creation of Pedroni (PJ Pedroni) from Seattle. He was born 1 years ago when he saw a friend try to sell music on Facebook. I just think there must be a better way to share music. You can share songs with Spotify if you are a paid user of Spotify. You can send a song fragment, but not the whole song. Pedroni points out, I have the idea of developing Boomio's first social music network. Like Instagram in photo sharing and Facebook, which connects friends and family, we want to share music. Pedroni the application on the stage of the Code/mobile convention. From Boomio's homepage, users can learn about the top 5 songs in each major category, and they can search for the music they want by new music, category, artist, song name, or album name. The receiver receives a notification alert named boom when receiving the song. After listening, they can buy the song, reply to a message or song, or share the songs with others. Each time you share it, users can listen to it more than once. The chat interface also retains all of the user's song-sharing records. Users can send a song to a person in the app or through Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, or send it to a lot of people at the same time. During the demo, Pedroni demonstrated the sending of crowd boom "mass function to share a song with all his followers on Boomio." This will allow artists to promote copyrighted songs. "Pedroni said. But to be successful, Boomio needs to offer a variety of music libraries, including pop songs, not just from indie artists and record companies. The start-up company has made a good start in this area. So far, the company has reached a licensing agreement with Universal Records, Sony and EMI, which will provide all the music tracks of the three record companies. The Boomio platform will start with about 2 million songs, which will continue to grow over the next few months with the addition of an old repertoire of authorized parties. The company is also discussing cooperation with Warner Corporation. Contacting the record company is the hardest thing to do, "Pedroni said, but they are all excited about Boomio and want to be part of it. "He had been in the advertising business before and had opened several piano bars in Seattle," he said. He added that they had not considered how long they had agreed to sign the authorization agreement. For record companies and artists, Boomio will be another marketing tool and a commercial opportunity. But how can boomio ensure that users do not steal music? As we have seen in other applications that burn after reading (such as Snapchat), people will try to grab the media content. Randy Kath, another co-founder of Boomio, said they would implement security measures to prevent such problems from happening. Landy Kess For example, all content will be played as streaming media and will not be stored locally on the user's device. Those music streaming media will also be encrypted, Boomio will not transfer the source content location. Keith has been an executive at Microsoft and has been Boomio's only developer and programmer in the past year. Boomio will be released officially free this December, on the shelves of iOS App store. As a member of the Affiliate program, Boomio's iOS app supports buying songs via itunes. Its Android version plans to log in to Google Play in the first quarter of 2015. The company is currently unwilling to respond to the financing issue.
