Music on social networks

Post by Ronbarbados »

we are building a new social network. How can we allow users to create music playlists? One of my programmers suggested we allow them to upload music from their hard drives. I don't know if this is such a good idea when there are services like ilike and playlist out there that we can integrate?

If you allow them to upload music from their HDD you will probably be in violation of copyright laws. :?

Let them build play lists, or just give up on the idea and use Shazam -- which probably does everything you want to do already???

I use Shazam to share what music I am listenting to with my friends on facebook, etc.

Cheers,
Alex
