Ultimate music search and discovery
At Qbox, we’ve always felt that the best way to consume music was through an intuitive (intelligent, social, and/or random) discovery process rather than direct, keyword-based search. There are numerous ways to discover and listen to music at Qbox other than search:
- Browse by genre and/or artist
- Follow the pink swirl for Qbox-recommended tunes, based on our proprietary recommomendation algorithm
- Rely on your friends to guide you to their favorite music through Music Feed
… etc.
The first few months of our beta service, however, have taught us that searching for specific songs or artists is a crucial part of our users’ behavior. In fact, a majority of our users start their music discovery process from search. Perhaps this is Google’s influence. Whatever the reason, it became evident that we need to provide the ultimate music search experience at Qbox.
Over the next few weeks and months, we will start rolling out our newly-designed music search product. It will take a few months at least to get to the “ultimate” search experience, but some things will start happening much sooner. Stay tuned.
