Psonar is a social music community letting people access their music, wherever they are, and explore other people’s music. It lets people put music at the heart of their social interractions and empowers artists to engage directly with their fans.
Psonar lets people save their entire music collection in the Psonar Cloud. Using Psonar’s website they can download their music from the Psonar Cloud to their mp3 player, computer or phone or they can stream it to any web enabled device. Their music is safe and accessible from any internet connected PC at any time.
Psonar is also a music community in which users can discover new music, sample it and, if they want, buy it to add to their own collection. Rich search facilities enable them to find new music not only by artist, album or genre but by what particular types of people are listening to defined, for example, by their listening habits or geographical location.
Users can create playlists and charts for their own convenience or to share their passion for music with their friends – although users are limited to listening to a 30 second sample of other people’s music. Psonar has developed Facebook applications, as well as widgets that work with other social networks, to let members of the Psonar community use their passion for music to enhance their social networking profiles.
Ultimately, Psonar intends to enable independent music labels or unsigned artists to build a direct channel to their fans allowing them to share or sell their music, as they see fit at the price they choose. At the same time they benefit from the ease of discovery enabled by Psonar’s search features.
