Musicovery is an interactive and customised webradio service. Listeners rate songs, resulting in a personalized programme.〔Kate Russell.("Webscape" (column) ), BBC News, February 22, 2007. Retrieved 2008-07-01.〕 Reviewers have commented that unlike services that are governed by the user's choice of artist or genre, this method results in more discovery of artists to which the user might not otherwise have been exposed; ''The Washington Post'' The webradio service is accessible on mobile phone (on 3G/Symbian Nokia Devices) iPhone and iPod Touch. Music files provided by the service are streamed, not downloaded, and the listener can buy all the songs played or tagged as favorite from major online music retailers iTunes, Amazon, and eBay. ==History== Musicovery was founded by Vincent Castaignet and Frédéric Vavrille. They combined their technology in January 2006 to create the internet site Musicovery.com. Castaignet has created the "Mood pad", a proprietary technology enabling listeners to find intuitively music matching their mood (see Technology). Vavrille is the creator of Liveplasma.com, a graphic discovery engine. Liveplasma was created in 2004 and is a graphical interface based on Liveplasma technology. The Liveplasma technology creates a graphical map of possible tastes, with songs most likely to please the user appearing closer to the current song on the visual map than songs less similar.〔 Musicovery webradio was beta-tested in June 2006 and launched in November 2006. After four years, a completely redesigned Musicovery website was launched in July 2010. The new version does not feature Liveplasma technology, and has many fewer features available in the free version of the site.〔http://absorbtheweb.com/musicovery-major-website-facelift/〕 An iPhone application was launched in September 2010. The Musicovery team is based in Paris, France.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Musicovery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
