Loudcrowd is an online music community focused on music gaming and virtual goods. Loudcrowd users listen to a constant stream of new music while playing an evolving and connected series of music-themed games with friends. By playing, users earn a variety of virtual goods for use within the site including music tracks that can be collected to customize group playlists.
Loudcrowd entered in public beta in March of 2009 at SXSW. In an interview in Xconomy with the creators, CEO Nabeel Hyatt stated that Loudcrowd was the sole project of social entertainment startup Conduit Labs. “It became very obvious very early on that the potential for this product was that it was a multi-billion-dollar company, if we executed it right…So this is the project that, we think, is Conduit Labs.” As of March of 2009 it currently has more than 50 artists and over 250 songs including Justice, Phoenix, Santigold, Friendly Fires, and unreleased tracks from The Twelves.
