These websites offer something users cannot get elsewhere, stats and engagement numbers all going in the right direction,

and a growing user base that don’t only consume, but create, share, and actively contribute to the success of these music services.

Here’s a bit more about them...

Page 4: Siren Media Kit

As simple as that may sound, it is true. Everyone loves music, but these people go beyond that. They spend their time and money on entertainment, technology and fashion.

A lot of their money is spent on gigs and festivals. They’re the friend who insists you have to see a band that you’ve never heard of in a tiny venue, months before they make it big. They critically read music reviews online, they post on music forums and read music blogs. They subscribe to on-demand and personalised radio services, and they get their gig recommendations online too.

They influence their friends without even realising it.

They share their life story through Facebook, they follow the people they admire on Twitter, and watch videos on YouTube. So far, so ordinary… it seems almost every 15-45 year old does this in 2012.

But these people are the users that are asked their opinion on Twitter, upload to YouTube, post their photos on Instagram, that share their inspirations on Pinterest.

They’re the friends that know that The Stone Roses ‘borrowed’ the Fool’s Gold drum-loop from Bobby Byrd’s 1972 track ‘Hot Pants’, and have made that fact available on WhoSampled. They’ve spent time perfecting the perfect Ninja Tune playlist on ShareMyPlaylists.
