Music-related site: worth it?

What would it take for you to frequently visit and participate in a music-related site?

I have this discussion with numerous musicians and music related businesses... but never with average joes/janes, who are the truly important people to a site's success.

Even more, what music related websites do you love / have to visit daily? (ex: Pandora)

 

None daily, I go to blip.fm weekly though

 

If you're doing it to make money, you're up for a big challenge. If you want to do it for fun or promote artists, then you'll be fine.

 

Well, right now it'll be for fun... then once it's secure enough to start monetizing, i'll begin to do so

So, what sites do you like that are music-related?

*btw, I recently found blip.fm and love it

 

I normally visit imeem for listen to new song.
And will visit when my friend upload new song.

 

imeem is another great site, and what impresses me is that it's not even hit it's limit... there's so much potential still!

 

I have just started using spotify which I think is brilliant- I think it will challenge a lot of music websites and become an important channel for new music - the only thing is it is yet something else running in your system tray taking up resources

 

Hmm, never heard of this program before... just took a look at it and seems pretty interesting. I'm fine with having it running in my sys. tray if it's worthwhile

This reminds me a bluenote, and old beta program that was very rare and brief... and if this is the case then it'll def. have great success.

 

Saturated niche, google music blog, free mp3s, music and come up with millions of results

 

I totally agree, however is there something specific (music-related) that you would think isn't as saturated?

 

I'm the owner of XtremeMusic.net and it's very rewarding. I can't say how much it makes yet, because I just relaunched it. But it's fun if you love music. Plus you get to stay up to date on music news.

I say go for it.

 

music websites can make thousands of dollars a month and there is cooltoad i think which is very old website provides music for different music languages

 

Though sites can profit greatly, I am not looking to make thousands off of a music site... it's really all about having fun

Would you like a site that allows you to make music on it? Like the site provides music, and you just record away?

 

If you want to do it because you like it - go for it!

Yes, I think you will get a lot of attention if you offer services where people can make and record sounds online. Quite a good idea!

 

Thanks for the support, as well... are there any sites/ music apps that you like alot?

 

We like to go to our friends di.fm, they have a good amount of music styles.

 

I like Pandora, though I hate that Pandora limits the songs you're able to scroll through. I visit Yahoo music, I like watching music videos there.

 

Cool site... I never really studied .fm or .am -- I'm looking into ti now though
