Soundwave Consulting<\/a> – I\u2019m the President & Founder. We provide comprehensive digital strategy, marketing, and advertising services to the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve been loving Billy String’s new album, Renewal<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Algorithmic playlisting! I love Release Radar and Discover Weekly on Spotify, to name a few. I also love discovering new music\/artists from music festivals, concerts, and album releases that Soundwave works on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Streaming is my main source of consumption – but nothing beats a good vinyl listening session! We\u2019ve got a great collection building at our office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Streaming is my main source of consumption – but nothing beats a good vinyl listening session!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Everywhere. If I\u2019m awake, there\u2019s music playing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given our position in the music industry, I have the luxury of listening to a lot of new music before it\u2019s released. We maintain several \u201ctastemaker\u201d lists for our clients and send early listens out via Byta<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My biggest frustration about listening to music digitally is that when I hear something I love that hasn\u2019t been released yet, there\u2019s not a great cloud-based streaming service like Spotify where I can keep listening as I move around from my house to my car, to my office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having come of age during the Limewire\/Napster era<\/a>, it\u2019s like I\u2019ve been teleported back to 1997 and have to deal with transferring MP3s<\/a> from device to device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My library categorization method isn\u2019t exactly refined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n right click > add to playlist > starred > pray I can find it again later!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat are you listening to?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
