Loudlee Rolls Out Beta of Social Music Network

CEO Yaron Revah was co-founder of XIV.

Loudlee, a new social music network that enables its members to play, share and discover new music from YouTube in discography format, has announced its Beta release.

Loudlee enables people to play and share tunes, discover what their friends are listening to, and create playlists for free. The layout of discography, method of sharing, and level of control given to users are the main stand-outs of the service. Loudlee is free and shall remain free. Signing up for Loudlee currently requires an invite.

Users join by logging-in through their Facebook account. From there they can search and find music to play, invite friends and see which albums and songs their friends are listening to. These are displayed in a strongly visual way, and indicate which friends have listened to which tunes. Music is pulled from YouTube and can be seen onscreen during playback. Users can also share what they are listening to via Twitter and Facebook.

Yaron Revah, Loudlee Founder and CEO, explains: "We created Loudlee because of a gap we saw in the music service industry. Every online service has a long set of conditions, restrictions, and small print — Loudlee has none. It’s free and can be used anywhere in the world." He added: "Users can listen to the music they like and share with their friends. With total control and immediate full access, users can organize millions of songs by album or create their own playlists whenever they want."

"We want to know what music our friends are listening to," said Revah. "We wanted to create a service that made sharing effortless and allowed people to find new music that matches their tastes."

Loudlee builds on Revah’s impressive resume within the technology start-up world. He co-founded XIV with four friends. XIV developed high-end storage systems for enterprises and was sold to IBM for $300 million U.S. in 2007.

He looks forward to making Loudlee the go-to destination for those who want to share their musical preferences.

In future releases Loudlee intends to increase the level of control users have on their music by enabling playlist saving and sharing, music library organization, and brand and band music pages. Sharing via Google+ will be added soon as well.

Founded in February 2011, Loudlee is a privately-held company and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
