Amazon Whisperer

·       The way I will first be making revenue is by having to sell my app for a certain price. Just like certain music apps and games require you to purchase them, so would the Mind and Melody. That would really be my main way of making money, until I could get possibly partnered with smart phone companies like Apple or Android, or be sponsored by music technology companies like Bose and Sonos.

·       So the next big thing I believe my customers would want is a way to access the song that the app helped them find. For example, Mind and Melody will listen to the user’s voice and find the tune the user is looking for. Then the app could lead the user to a place where the song could be found like on Spotify, Amazon Music, or iTunes. This way, the user can now easily go and listen to the song or purchase it so that they never forget what the song was again!

·         Shazam recognizes music and media playing around you. Tap the Shazam button to instantly match, and then explore, buy and share. You can Shazam as much as you want! Once you’ve Shazamed something, you can:

*Buy tracks on Amazon MP3

*Watch the videos on YouTube

*See what your friends have Shazamed

*Use LyricPlay to sing along to streamed lyrics

*Listen to the music you Shazam in Rdio or Spotify

*Check out the artist’s bio and discography

You can also:

*Preview and save your favourites

*Share what you Shazam on Twitter, Facebook & Google+

·       All the reviews say how much they enjoy using the app do to its simplicity and somehow magical ability to identify songs from the radio and TV. Also, customers really enjoyed the fact that the music can be automatically made into a playlist for Spotify users, and that it can link up with Facebook users so you can see what your friends are Shazaming too. The only thing I saw that one customer didn’t like was that there was a monthly amount of tagging songs you could do until you had to pay to full access to the premium version of Shazam.

·       I would like to keep all the aspects of the app that the customers enjoyed. Really the only thing I would change is that my app version could detect songs with just the human voice from the user and not actually the whole song from the radio.

·       This product would make a good addition to mine because of their similarity and how each can benefit the customer.
