Ideas

Brilliant idea, dont pay for the tracks pay for the right to express your opinion on the music you are listening to.

Keep it up

thanks Virgil.

Wonder if to some degree this idea could be integrated with Pandora.com stuff..

I love it (and not just because you plugged my idea ;)

Only thing I might suggest changing is the credit card requirement. A lot of young people who would otherwise be your highest potential customers, would be restricted from using this due to lack of credit card.

There are other ways to limit abuse though (ip tracking, captchas, etc.) so I don't see it as a huge problem.

To make it really stand out from the crowd it might make sense to target a specific genre of music to start. Focus wins when it comes to startups. Don't try and boil the ocean and all that. Any genre would work, perhaps we could use a crowdsourcing model to find out where the most interest is? I personally love old-school funk (but I'm old). I'm in Montreal at the moment and there is a huge community of young ambitious DJ's looking for an outlet to make their music heard. I just know they would love a solution like this. Voting up!

the key factor is ''Incorporate this with myspace,facebook and other high volume websites.'' very cool.

dawning :
Pandora, wow! excellent thinking. Pandora's algorith + user diggs. wyked combination.

digiterata:
- i like your no credit card suggestion.
- love the counter-suggestions, specially a) ways to get around abuse b) "Focus wins" --> you got me thinking here ;)

cynthia_dimaria:
thank you Mademoiselle

This also ties in with other ideas:

Together when they work in unison, i believe we have some solid potential:

Hi,

I wasnt being ironic, i really think its a great idea :D

Sincerely yours

I agree with you and cynthia_dimaria hooking up with other big sites is the key to success... aggregating popularity from many high volume sites and demographics.

May be an idea is to make the voting demographics between the large sites very prominent so that you create a competitive type of feel almost to the users of those social websites.

Pandora is a nice thought but are they strong on new artist submissions?

Doymarn, did you mean like a "digg it" link on each one of those sites, that eventually adds up to "ranking" on digthistrack.com ?

//Pandora is a nice thought but are they strong on new artist submissions? //

To be honest, I do not know. The algorithm that Pandora uses links music together based on different specific. There is more to it then linking music together based on genre alone. It's slightly more complex than that.
But that is a good question you brought up. --> upcoming artist submission on Pandorra.

digthistrack.com could have a two tiered system.

-i- famous and reknowned artists section
-ii- upcoming contenders section

thank you for the feedback everyone!
suggestions and most importantly critique helps us in brainstorming more about our ideas.

myself and "Digiterata" are in the process of alamgamating the 4 or 5 ideas that we have floating around in CH. We hope to have something conclusive and "easy to understand" very soon.

stay tooned!
