The Rude Baguette has been following Whyd for a while now<\/a>. The service<\/a> started out as a very handy browser extension to bookmark your favorite \u00a0songs from any platform – a tool much needed by music bloggers, DJs and all of us who spend hours looking for the latest musical breakthrough.<\/p>\n After they raised \u20ac700k in January<\/a> and moved a part of their team in San Fransisco, they were able to bring this service to mobile: their IOS app launches today<\/strong>. The idea remains the same: finally being able to stream music from a variety of platform. Whyd differentiates itself from competitors (Soundrop<\/a>, Music Player, Bopfm<\/a>) with a very strong and active community, says Gilles Poupardin, Whyd’s CEO. Amongst users you can follow you’ll be able to find artists (C2C<\/a>), concert halls (la Cigale, le Point FMR<\/a>) or music TV programs (Arte\u00a0Tracks<\/a>). Ever since Whyd became open, the platform gathered about a million tracks which are all organized in playlists and sharable with anyone.<\/p>\n The ambition with the launching of the IOS app is to make this expert community accessible to a larger public. How it works: once you get the app, you can browse the database for music (available on Youtube, Soundcloud, Vimeo, Dailymotion and streamable MP3s) and create playlists. The real added value is social: you can follow users among the active music-lover community and discover awesome new tracks. Oh, and it’s free.<\/p>\n Summer homework for the Whyd team is making the app available on Android. The other goal for the service is to add Deezer<\/a> and Spotify to the platforms streamable on mobile: since the sharing of music is at the core of Whyd’s “Why”, it seems only natural one Deezer user could be able to share a playlist with a Spotify user (if you can’t choose between the two: here are a few tips<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Rude Baguette has been following Whyd for a while now.
