10 Music Technology Companies to Watch Out for in 2015 Thomas Masse 1 SongDrop Some avid listeners have the habit of switching between listening to tracks on SoundCloud, Youtube, Bandcamp, and Vimeo. Songdrop allows users to create playlists with songs from all these services. It relieves you of the hassle of having multiple windows open and switching between each music service to listen to your favourite music online for free. Songdrop compiles online music in one place for users to browse. An iOS app also extends this feature to your iphone and you can also download an extension to keep track of the music you find on websites and other blogs. 5 Musistic Similar to Smule, Musistic is a brand new disruptive technology that allows creative, musical collaboration with anyone, anywhere regardless of which DAW is being used. Their DAW plugin with sophisticated cloud data backend allows you to transfer uncompressed, high-quality audio. By never leaving your workstation, this seamless integration eliminates all of the downtime that occurs when collaborating. 7 BandZoogle Bandzoogle is the leading website building platform for musicians. It has all the feature an artist needs to build a pro website, manage their mailing list, and set-up their online store. 16 The Score Magazine www.thescoremagazine.com
