You enter a band/artist you already love to listen to.<br />2. We will immediately start playing some great independent artists that match your tastes.<br />3. When you click the "Like" button on different songs those artists will get more exposure and we'll also tune iSound to your listening tastes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why change the current site?<br /></span><br />Music on the current <a href="http://www.isound.com">iSound site</a> is <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> easy to browse and discover.<br /><br />The main focus of any independent music site should be to help musicians connect with as many new and passionate fans as possible; and in turn, help those fans discover great new music.<br /><br />The easiest way to discover new music is to provide recommendations based on what fans currently listen to and we have been building the new site with that in mind.<br /><br />We will be removing site functionality that doesn't focus on the primary goal of connecting fans with new music.<br /><br />Beta testing will open soon and we always welcome any feedback!<br /><br />Some early screen shots of the new iSound are below:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86FZqjEehI/AAAAAAAAABk/tL9CLx9Hh3s/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-04-20+at+9.54.48+PM.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86FZqjEehI/AAAAAAAAABk/tL9CLx9Hh3s/s200/Screen+shot+2010-04-20+at+9.54.48+PM.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462450074011597330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86DZ_mwRNI/AAAAAAAAABM/qolCiHdqttI/s1600/iSound+Artist+2010+1.8.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86DZ_mwRNI/AAAAAAAAABM/qolCiHdqttI/s200/iSound+Artist+2010+1.8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462447880640939218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86Dg-C9XkI/AAAAAAAAABU/hNnePlu44z8/s1600/iSound+Play+2010+1.1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86Dg-C9XkI/AAAAAAAAABU/hNnePlu44z8/s200/iSound+Play+2010+1.1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462448000481451586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86Dm1c24tI/AAAAAAAAABc/qP8Vv7q2EmU/s1600/iSound+Listener+2010+1.1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8naTq_2sNSI/S86Dm1c24tI/AAAAAAAAABc/qP8Vv7q2EmU/s200/iSound+Listener+2010+1.1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462448101253374674" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8612596903898592688-3404210526509277464?l=blog.isound.com' alt='' /></div>DJ Burdickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10230558806978486741noreply@blogger.com4
