As if my quarter-life crisis wasn’t already in full force, a 15-year-old whiz kid has coded a music player called Muziic that lets you stream the music of your choice to your computer, all for free. David Nelson and his dad Mark started Muziic a few weeks back, and it’s already generating buzz all over the net.
Muziic keeps things legal by taking advantage of YouTube’s Content ID system, which is how label compensation is calculated on the back end. I’m not sure how YouTube generates revenue to pay those label fees though. If that money stems from ad revenue, and Muziic robs YouTube of site hits by streaming the music directly to end users rather than forcing the users to visit YouTube’s site, YouTube would be losing potential revenue to Muziic. Needless to say, I doubt YouTube would be too thrilled about that.
Provided that Muziic and YouTube stay on the level, Muziic is a pretty ingenious idea, similar in functionality to Spotify.
Muziic Player puts millions of songs right on your desktop, free and legally. Interested?
To use Muziic Player, simply type the name of the song or artist you wish to hear into the player’s search bar. Muziic then searches and returns the most relevant results from the world’s largest music database – YouTube.
While traditional media players only allow you to import and play music from your own collection, Muziic Player streams all of your favorite songs directly to you, 100% free and legally. Through YouTube’s state of the art Content ID recognition system, major record labels are fully compensated for each song play.
