Music intelligence platform The Echo Nest teamed up with on-demand social music service Rdio to assist developers in building music apps, tapping Rdio’s catalog of more than 8 million licensed songs and using technology from The Echo Nest.
The first fruit of their labor is Music Maze, a streaming service that takes a single suggestion and uses The Echo Nest’s music intelligence technology to mine similarities between artists and recommend more music.
Nonsubscribers to Rdio can access 30-second previews of each track, while subscribers gain full access to all 8 million-plus songs, as well as features built into the apps including music discovery, gaming, social networking, location tagging, and playlist sharing.
And Rdio’s LinkShare affiliate program allows developers that attract new subscribers to Rdio to earn 2 percent-3 percent of resulting subscription fees for as long as those users subscribe, or 7 percent on each a la carte song purchase.
