MusePot

A digital platform targeting music lovers for the trading of beats and the production of music.
MusePot is a marketplace for producers to license, lease, and sell their work, and it is a platform for music enthusiasts to interact with each other. By using MusePot, artists and music lovers can make songs easily.
 

Musepot is a startup team and I work as a lead UX designer in the team. The project is still ongoing and now we just finished the first version of our website. The next step would be mobile app design.

PROBLEM

The Chinese music industry has undergone a tremendous period of growth, a lot of amateur musicians and music lovers have emerged, especially young adults under 24 years old. However, so far there is no established music trading platform in China. Making music is a process that requires a lot of music-related knowledge. How might we enable amateurs who have very little or no foundation in music to make songs? How can a producer’s work be sold under the condition that it is protected? How can singers quickly find the music they want and then legally obtain the right to use it?

UI STYLE

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

I analyzed 3 different platforms: Beatstars, Beatshome, Beatsoul to examine the performances and differences of these existing products.

 

I found that:

  • These existing platforms don’t have the feature of trading lyrics, which could be a great opportunity.
  • Young Chinese music lovers often use NetEase Cloud music to trade beats because they have the largest music community in China. So letting users communicate and share ideas would be a potential feature.
