Thanks! Obvious monetization models for such services are: - affiliation (sell concert tickets, based on your musical preferences, which is based on your activity on the site) - sell "music influence network" data and/or promotion services to labels / bands - sell subscriptions to third-party music services to broaden the range of music available on the site, especially for off-line / mobile consumption, or quality of audio Today, our focus is on building a good platform.
