The folks who brought us photo site Faces.com are about to unleash Tunefeed which aspires to do
for music what YouTube does for video – make it accesible, shareable and thus viral. Tunefeed will allow users to upload their music collection to a locker and stream it legally from their blog, web site or Windows Media Center. Here are a few hints from the company’s web site:
"…Imagine being able to load your mp3 collection to the tunefeed locker, then creating playlists [tunefeeds] and dropping the tunefeed widget into your blog, myspace profile, or any website – you can even allow friends to play tunefeeds through their Microsoft Media Centre, we think this is pretty compelling…"
"…Tunefeed is 100% DMCA compliant, so I don’t expect to have any problems streaming most forms of music content from our servers."
"Whilst we can only aspire to youtube growth and appeal I will point out that with video there are very few legitimate ways to ensure copyright owners are compensated for their video being played – the same is not true for music."
Potentially powerful stuff for viral music marketers. Sign up for updates and to test the product as it develops here.
