I see Spotify is updating its linux users with new features first… But I still wonder where and if there is interest in a spotify for dj mixes?
A while ago I wrote about the differences for soundcloud vs mixcloud then went on to write about mixcloud. I highlighted these as problems with mixcloud…
- The ability to license content including creative commons
- Allow people to download the mixes if the dj allows it, like soundcloud do…
- Allow alternative versions of the same mix (this could be a nice pro feature, pro users get access to the transcoder)
- Add the ability to comment on sections of the mix and the whole mix if they want to
- Groups are a good idea (they work well on flickr and soundcloud)
- Spend a little more time on the design of the site if possible
The download one was always a problem. Something which strikes at the heart of mixcloud’s licensing and something spotify seemed to have solved too.
So I wonder if mixcloud will ever release a desktop client or if anyone else will jump in and do it first?
