Ofthemuse: Social DJ Site for Discovering New Music

Players use their taste in music to compete against one another, their playing selections voted on by listeners; when a DJ scores 3 wins the other DJ gets replaced and the party continues. Social networking has taken the music world by storm, allowing music fans to share and discover new music in ways unimaginable just a few years ago. Sites like Splash.fm and the extremely popular Turntable.fm allow users to harness the combined music libraries of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of users, and offer a richer music discovery experience in the process. Ofthemuse (O fthemu.se ) is an apparently Sweden-based site that also harnesses the power of social networking to help users listen to  and discover new music. The way it works is that users can become DJs that compete against one other using their taste in music. “In short,” the site’s founder, Martijn de Haan, told me in an email exchange, “two players become the DJ. “The other players vote for the songs they like most.
