Simple, cool and useful. The perfect music discovery tool!

Love working with this team. Think we've gone far too long without a dedicated mobile community to finding & sharing music content with friends... a place to have conversations and discover the artists & tracks that define our tastes, our memories, and our everyday enjoyment. The internet is about connectivity & enabling emotions, and Cymbal is a chance to be a piece of this web devoted to music.

hey @stevecaldwell! There are a lot of other apps out there thinking about the best way to find new music that you’ll actually like, but I think the thing that makes Cymbal so singular is we’re really focusing on community and experience. We want to make sure this is the place you come to not only see what your friends are listening to, but to follow the people in the music community who are truly driving opinion. And above all, we want to make sure that using the app is beautiful and immersive and doesn’t distract from the works of art themselves, which is what it’s all about in the end, right?

What are your thoughts on the now-defunct SoundTracking?

@malcolmcasey It's a good question. They were very interested in a similar idea, but might have been too early to the mobile-meets-streaming-meets-amazing-APIs party. But definitely onto the right thing. Sending a friend a song is written into all of our DNA. Cymbal’s main proposition is that listening to music is so much better when you can do it with friends. The other side of that coin is discovery, which is a super big thing for us. Our app lets you see the songs your friends, favorite artists and blogs are posting at any given time, which makes finding new music, as well as seeing what’s really hot, easy.
