I recently started working on a project for online music sharing, uploading, and community building. Several different directions presented themselves so far.
Creating a huge database of rare and very-har-to-find music collection is one of these, and I got to know one serious enthusiast working in this direction like crazy.
Another idea, by Tareq, was to announce to singers from wherever, to record a song, and we can then record them singing and upload the video clip on our website. This way, they can have a recorded video of their song, distributed to a huge number of people, who will then vote for their favorite song / singer. Another idea is to provide users with software that allows them to edit tracks and songs as they like.
I then came across a bold initiative working on promoting singers through the web. They have a descriptive title and slogan, SingToWin.com your free road to fame.
Their model is focusing on unheard of singers who are bold enough to record their voice in any format.
The site is functioning but the launch is scheduled sometime this month. This is a clear implementation of the Rady-Fire-Aim approach; they have something to start with (eight songs!) and they are probably working on the tweaking, improvements, and development. The design is quite simple and intuitive, and can use the services of a professional designer!
The lesson for me…? Immediately start with whatever I have and fine-tune from there.
