Bop.fm launches iOS app
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 10 December 2014
Having raised $2 million in funding earlier this year, free-to-use music discovery and playlisting service Bop.fm has launched an iOS app.
As previously reported, Bop.fm provides music recommendations and allows users to create playlists with music sourced from multiple platforms. The user hits play on a Bop.fm playlist, and it serves up all the tracks from the best sources available. The desktop version, launched a year ago, features integration with YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, Rdio, Deezer, Rhapsody, XBox Music and Beats Music.
At launch, the iOS app only sources music from YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify – and for the latter the user must also have a premium account with the streaming service, due to restrictions that exist on mobile usage of the Spotify system.
Says Bop.fm co-founder Shehzad Daredia: “Although Bop.fm has unified the experience of music streaming through its web platform, users today can now create their own universal playlists straight from their iOS device, and search for awesome playlists curated for Bop.fm by major artists like Tiesto, Lil Wayne, Keith Urban, Depeche Mode, and more”.
