System and method for presenting music to consumers
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a computer-implemented method and system for providing user requested music. The method comprises of receiving user input that defines a plurality of music search parameters. Some of the music search parameters may describe music content attributes. Thereafter, the process searches for music samples based upon the user provided search parameters. The process then presents music samples to the user. The method also determines if the user wants to buy any of the presented music samples, a set of music samples similar to the music purchased and/or a set of music samples different than the music bought.
