See artikkel on kirjutatud meie endi suurepärase muusika fännilt Mysticgeekilt.
Nagu paljud teist teavad, olen suur muusika fänn ja on hõlmanud mitut muusikarakendust ja veebisaite. Täna tutvustame Amie tänavat, minu lemmikmuusika saiti veebis … seal on mitmeid asju, mis muudavad selle nii suurepärase saidi, kuid kõige olulisem on see, et kogu muusika algab tasuta!
Hinnad sõltuvad muusika populaarsusest - laulud algavad tasuta, ja siis, kui rohkem inimesi neid alla laadib, tõusevad nad hinnaga kuni 0,98 dollarini. Kõik muusika on DRM-vaba MP3-vormingus ja töötab peaaegu kõikjal muusikapleieris kõikjal.
Ma arvan, et see, mis muudab nende muusikakollektsiooni sirvimiseks nii head, on see, kuidas see on loodud. Võite lihtsalt kuulata albumi palade näidiseid ja sirvida saidi ümber brauseri põhjaga eraldi mängijaga, pakkudes väga meeldivat kogemust.
Me istusime ja rääkisime Amie tänava asutaja Joshua Boltuchiga, et rohkem teada saada nende teenusest ja sellest, mida nad võivad pakkuda. Siin on ta pidanud öelda:
HTG: Alustame Amie tänava positsioonist või pealkirjast ja kui kaua olete sellega töötanud?
I am Co-Founder and CMO of AmieStreet.com. I started Amie Street in 2006 with two college friends while we were all seniors at Brown University.
HTG: Milline taust on teil Amie tänava käivitamisel?
We started Amie Street our senior year, so as far as formal training or experience in my industry, not much. I worked for Warner Bros for a summer during college and have a bachelor’s degree in Literature from Brown. I’ve always been an extremely avid music fan, listening to all types of music and going to see lots of shows. I think this passion for music is what led us to start Amie Street.
HTG: Mis on teie nägemus Amie tänavast? Mida näed seda praegu ja kuidas soovite seda tulevikus vaadates näha?
When you need new music, you head to Amie Street. And whether you want to spend two minutes or two hours, you’ll easily find great new music that you can play from any device at any time.
We will always have to focus on acquiring new content for our customers, making sure we’re doing our best to have everything they could possibly want. In terms of new features, design, and services, we’ll continue to listen to our customers needs and wishes, as they are always the final word.
HTG: Isiklikult mulle meeldib, kuidas see sait on loodud artistide lugude kuulamiseks, kuid samas on võimalik saidi sirvida. Kas see oli plaani osa? Selleks, et kasutajal oleks kohapeal nauditav kogemus.
Yes, indeed! We are a discovery service, and that feature really helps people find new music fast. You can be bouncing around from the Amie Street Charts page, to your personalized recommendations page, all the while listening to a playlist of the top Jazz songs of 2008. Then as your browsing the song your listening to catches your attention, and it’s right there at the bottom of your screen for you to click on and download. We actually did a major site redesign this past summer, basing our improvements on rather extensive “Voice of Customer” research. That was an idea that came from a number of our customers.
HTG: igaüks kritiseerib tänapäeval muusikatööstust ja nende aeglust Interneti-tehnoloogia kasutuselevõtmist, kuidas teil läbirääkimisi salvestusmärgistega, et pakkuda albumeid, mis ei kuulu nende nimekirja kandmise ajaks?
There was certainly some education involved, explaining that having the first downloads be free ensures that the music gets in the hands of the most passionate fans who are going to evangelize, so it’s going to help your sales not hurt it. And as Amie Street has grown it’s become more of a no-brainer for labels as they see there competitors making money on Amie Street, but that didn’t come right away. So for all the criticism of the industry there were labels who were willing to put their music on Amie Street when we were just starting and didn’t have a track record, and they deserve credit for being open to new ideas and trying them.
HTG: märkasin uut veebipildi, mis lubab teil kõik laetud failid kuulata, kas allalaaditavat mängijat on kavas?
A downloadable player is not currently in the works, but we are thinking about how we can position Amie Street on the desktop and tap into the music people already own to better help them find new music.
HTG: Kas on midagi muud, mida soovite lugejatele lisada või selgitada?
Well, I think it’s worth mentioning that Amie Street is absolutely a home-grown D.I.Y. company, and that it was started and is maintained by a group of young music geeks; we see Amie Street as a unique music service that empowers both fans and bands to participate in a fair and dynamic marketplace. It’s a fun and easy way to discover music, without raiding your wallets, and people know they are directly supporting the artists they enjoy.
HTG: Tänan teid väga teie aja eest, et vastata meie küsimustele!
Thank you!
