MUSICOIN Mobile(MM) UPGRADED TO VERSION 2.0

New Arrival!  MMV2

The groundbreaking Musicoin Mobile application, on both the IOS and Android platform, has attracted not only existing users on the Musicoin Platform but also raised the eyebrows of a new group of internet users, millennial music lovers.

Why do millennial listeners love free music? A new industry report has revealed the secret, “It’ll prove more fuel both for the music industry’s complaints about the ‘value gap’”. Musicoin is definitely echoing the needs of the young generation based on the big trend of Fair Play for both musicians and music lovers. As described by Creative Crypto Magazine: “Musicoin is making moves in 2019 and building bridges to connect artists more intimately with their fanbases.”

Today MM upgrades to version 2.0. A new chapter opens to allow users to tip their favorite music tracks and artists from their own wallet. It’s different from the debut Version 1.0 , which gave a time-limited opportunity to subsidize tipping from a system pool called Universal Basic Income. With Version 2, users will be able to manage their listening experience much more easily in customized ways, and more functionalities will be centered around listeners who won’t have to pay the high subscription fees charged by today’s music streaming services.

It’s why MM is a “guilt-free” streaming service – the first Music streaming service that enables both fair play and free music at the same time. “Without blockchain technology and delicate design, it’s impossible,” said River Yan, a key developer of the project. Musicoin is the only streaming app emerging from blockchain technology with a scalable, sustainable vision. The team will continuously refine the product over the year, adding more features (speed enhancements, personal login, playlists…) as well as building up a global community and empowering artists.

In MMV2, still with free music, users can log in with their social accounts (Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and access their account on the Musicoin platform. Their balances will show the same whether they are using the mobile app or the website. So listeners will use their own funds to tip their favorite artists, and their tipping history will be recorded on the blockchain permanently

Additionally, V2 also fixed several key issues in V1, including:

  • Play queue advancement logic
  • Android back button behaviour
  • Improved search functionality
  • Added infinite scroll on track lists
  • View your recent plays
  • View your recent tips
  • Select custom tipping amount on long press
  • Tip from your own wallet
  • Signup and login from the app using email, Facebook, Google or Twitter
  • Wallet balance

“This was something I had been dreaming of — somewhere fans can listen free and musician get paid fairly and instantly,” said Stevee, artist and Musicoin Ambassador.

Musicoin’s new baby

Musicoin’s new baby launches today: Mobile App V1

It’s what we’ve been waiting for: the Musicoin Mobile app launches today, 30 January at 8pm GMT. Download it free from the stores, available for Android and iPhone.

Musicoin is the pioneer of blockchain music, harnessing the power of the blockchain to allow fans to listen free and musicians to get paid instantly in a legitimate crypto currency – $MUSIC.

The Musicoin ethos is encapsulated in a rather crafty and cunning slogan: ‘Fair play’. When you look at how the centralized music industry treats fans and musicians alike, it’s about time for some fair play! In 2017, only 12% of revenue from global music sales actually went to the people who created the magic: the artists, songwriters and producers.

To hell with that, thought Musicoin, let’s come up with a disruptive and revolutionary system to compensate independent musicians fairly, while at the same time, let’s not rip fans off and subject them to endless ads and marketing babble.

And so they did just that! Thanks to the vision of its founder, Isaac Mao.

Today, Musicoin boasts some 5,500 independent artists, 77,000 tracks, and to date 7.5 million streams, not to mention a whopping 10.2 millions tips donated to artists from enthusiastic fans who want to support indie musicians even further.  And guess what? Download the app and you can tip the artists you like for free. The tips will be paid for out of the UBI (Universal Basic Income) pool. That alone is surely worth the price of admission. Oh, I forgot, there is no price of admission. The app is free!

Musicoin’s new baby could be a game changer, when you consider that ‘95% of internet users don’t have access to music online, unless they subscribe to an expensive and closed streaming service. With the power of $MUSIC blockchain, they can now stream independent music for free, from a constantly growing catalog of labels and artists. There are no ads, it’s free, easy to share, and artists get paid instantly.’ Bear in mind also that many people on the planet don’t have computers and can only stream music from their phones.

I’ve been testing the new app, along with a bunch of other Musicoin ambassadors and enthusiasts, and Version 1 will be pretty damn good. It certainly does the job of streaming music efficiently. You will, however, find some oddities and imperfections: the genres section, for example, is a work in progress.

But fear not! Be ‘appy! Don’t worry – just get into this with a pioneering spirit! The app will go from strength to strength in a series of upgrades, each one sporting more whistles and bells than the preceding version. Musicoin’s new baby will grow up! Improvements will include personal login, the ability to create and curate playlists and other cool features.

The time for Fair Play is now, or more specifically, 8pm GMT, 30 January when you can download it from the app stores. It would also be splendid if you could tell your friends, relatives and complete strangers how wonderful the new Musicoin app is. After all, sharing is caring.

Available in the app stores 8PM GMT 30 JAN, 2019
