Trying to find a good music station? Pandora has too many ads on their sites, iheart music doesn't have the right music for you, and iTunes radio is too generic. That's where the greatest website comes into play. Welcome to FratMusic, a website partnered with soundcloud that has different playlists with music fitting the college music scene.
FratMusic's website describes their lifestyle with:
At FratMusic we believe that great music makes for great times. But our vision has always been bigger than just streaming good music. Our larger goal is to build a network to share great music and to form a true community around the music we all love. This new version of the site is designed to bring us one step closer to that goal.
FratMusic is changing the way music is being made. No more buying straight from iTunes, but you have the ability to influence the music yourself. You can create a playlist, by placing remixes of any songs of your choosing. Once placing them onto the site, the actual listeners now control your fate. They can vote the mixes as being "frat," which is a thumbs up or "not frat," which is a thumbs down. Each "frat" or "not frat" gives you a score on the playlist which can either rank your playlist higher or kill it. The goal is to have your playlist or remixes in the top recommended to listeners. Having the partnership with soundcloud opens a way for listeners not only to hear the music they like, but actually get the music they like. Not having to pay for the music gives the ability for listeners to be more drawn to FratMusic. By using soundcloud, it brings more traffic to the site for listeners to find the artist they like and have more people use soundcloud, as well. It is a win-win situation for both companies.
FratMusic is changing the way people listen. They have the power to make, remix, mix, and create new music that people have not heard before. It's fresh and has a different style of producing music. It's formed to be what the listeners want, and with the power of votes can tell FratMusic what they see as "frat". With the different selection, I can listen to music to while I study, go to the gym or get ready for summer. It doesn't have one narrow field of choices. FratMusic is giving a good rep to struggling and new artists; artists who have limited resources are able to use this site to have their voice and music heard. FratMusic can find the right drop when you are searching for it, and it can make your day. So why not let the beat drop and embrace it?
