Overheard @SFMusicTech

Last week, SF Music Tech, the gathering of the music tech tribe, held its latest session. As usual, attendees looked forward rather than complaining about the past and present. Playlists and blockchain joined the conversations about funding, revenue models and discovery. Here are a few takeaways shared via Twitter.
