Coming off a recent [$625,000 seed](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/10/musicplayr-nabs-625000-for-online-playlist-creation-leaves-private-beta-.html)  
[investment](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2012/10/musicplayr-nabs-625000-for-online-playlist-creation-leaves-private-beta-.html) from Lars Langusch of Holzbrink Venures, Berlin-based music tech  
startup **[Musicplayr](http://musicplayr.com/?%5F=/start/&ref=hypebot.com)** has just ended its closed beta period. The free, cross-platform service allows  
users to create an online music profile by **collecting music links** from YouTube,  
SoundCloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion and music blogs, allowing them to **organize and**  
**play songs from multiple Internet sources** as a sharable playlist.

  
Musicplayr has also rolled out a set of new  
features to the site including a rethought dashboard of the most active users &  
most popular songs on the  
service, options to choose desired audio/video  
playback quality, and more customizable music profiles. While the personal music profile is still the heart of  
Musicplayr’s functionality, the profiles can now be customized with  
individual background images, which the company believes gives users a better  
way to reveal their personality and style.

"This is the first open version of  
Musicplayr," says Stefan Vosskötter, founder and CEO. "We will  
continue to respond to user feedback, and are currently working on two major  
features. Firstly, Musicplayr will become a self-organizing service that uses  
the latest audio fingerprint technology."

This song recognition technology provides  
the user with track and artist details.

"Secondly," Vosskötter adds,  
"the implementation of this technology will make it possible to launch our  
iPhone app that can identify a song and store it directly onto a user’s music  
profile."

Musicplayr currently users tag tracks (indie, folk), but the company is planning a Gracenote integration for music identification. A paid version will likely be added.
