Mike first covered Amie Street back in 2006. At the time, he was a big fan. Back then, the startup was targeting a new music model, which allowed musicians to upload their songs to Amie Street's platform, offering those tracks to listeners for free. The more downloads the songs attracted, the price would slowly increase -- the price then indicating the song's popularity. In what now looks like a savvy decision, Amie Street sold to Amazon last September for an undisclosed amount, deciding to focus its efforts on Songza: The social Internet radio service it acquired in 2008. Today, after much iterating and tinkering, Songza is launching free mobile apps for iOS and Android that allow users to create and share personalized and music collections -- in the comfort of the cloud. Songza Co-founder and CEO Elias Roman likens the service to a "music concierge", in that it serves users with playlists created by experts (and friends) for whatever mood or musical experience you could possible want. "The future of music will be driven by the convergence of expert and social curation", the co-founder said.
