Must Try This Somehow: Songza

Alan Cross 5 Comments

I first heard of Songza a few years ago but never gave it a spin because I just assumed that it wasn’t available in Canada.  (I’m out of the country now, so could someone check and get back to me in the comments section? Thanks.)

Owned by Amazon, Songza has slowly been undergoing changes and improvements.  Its latest offering is called Music Concierge, an algorithm that chooses songs based on your mood or your activity.  

For example, let’s say you’re like me and you like to listen to music when you jog.  Music Concierge has a setting for that which turns your workout into a session of music discovery.  

Efficient.  I like that.

    The app is available in Canada. It is awesome! For apple and android. They struck a deal with the music societies.
