Music is known to transcend boundaries and unite people at an all new level. This is when social networking became such a popular spot for connecting with friends from all across the globe, it seemed unfair that there is very little for the music lovers to share on networking platforms.

However, with the growing need for these audiophiles to find like-minded people, many social media platforms came up. They allow music addicts to get connected with their musical soul mates and discuss all kinds of genres to their heart’s contentment. Not only could you share music for your personal libraries but also rtones for your phones. If you live and breathe music, then these platforms will surely be the ones for you.

1. MySpace

Thanks Justin Timberlake and the web development company who take the fate of this dying social networking site in their hands and gave it a major facelift. What used to be a desperate spot for the teenagers to gain attention through their blogs and inane gif’s has now become the most sought after platform for sharing and discussing music. With over 32 million users and counting, the people on MySpace can select the music from the extensive library and create their own playlist that can be shared with other users on MySpace.

2. Spotify

It is not just a music streaming platform but a lot more than that. Spotify has now been integrated to the Facebook and twitter pages so that the people can see each other’s spotify playlist and also share music directly via messages on Facebook. Spotify also allows you to see what other are listening to every time you sign in to your account.

3. Flowd

Do you give new talent a chance to make it to your playlist? If yes, this is the place for you. All the budding musicians find themselves a spot on Flowd who are trying to make a breakthrough in the music industry. Flowd also allows you to link your account to Facebook and Twitter so that the music can be freely shared and advertised on these popular social networking sites.

4. Tastebuds.fm

The one of its kind dating site that allows you to find people in your area with same music taste as yours. Integrate your last.fm account with this social media site or even Songkick which is a popular platform for upcoming gigs and concerts. Using these two accounts you can not only find your iPod soul mate but also see the concerts they are planning to attend. This is surely an ingenious way to connect two people with similar interest in music.

5. Sworly

Sworly is to the music what Pinterest is to pictures. You can put your favourite song on the board just as you do in Pinterest and allow people to share or leave comments about what they think. There is also a choice for other people to share your post on their account and attract comments or critiques.

There are many ways possible now to actively share or exchange music. But nothing beats the classic form of sharing, new bands advised by your friends. The social media platform is just to widen the spectrum of music and encompass as many music lovers as possible into their network.
