The service will be advertising-based,
Canon XHA1S, and will play an add every five songs. Console.fm can tell a lot about its users by using the Facebook log-in system,
SONY VAIO VPCZ13EGX/B, which can help it target messages.
It's like Pandora,
Panasonic HDC-HS900, for programmers.
Console.fm is a specialized Pandora-like music player that plays electronic music. Twenty-two different kinds of it. I found it educational; I didn't know there was a genre of music called "Glitch hop,
Sony HVR-A1U," for instance. The company was one of 31 start-ups making their pitch today at the 500 Startups event here.
See also: Turntable.fm.
What co-founders Alex Manelis and Alex Baldwin didn't expect was the audience they would find a home with. As it turns out,
Canon EOS 7D 70-300MM Lens, developers and coders like listening to electronica in their headphones while they're working. They're the biggest user group of Console.fm. And also the potential future business.
What I found surprising about this business,
Sony HDR-AX2000, and the reason I think it's a harbinger for similar businesses,
Sony HDR-HC9, is that,
Apple Pro MC026LL/A, if Baldwin is right in what he tells me,
Sony HDR-CX7, it is neither about to be shut down because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act nor will it go broke paying licensing fees. Baldwin told me that the music on the service comes from independent artists via SoundCloud; when they upload their tracks,
Sony Z133GX/B, they sign up,
Sony HDR-FX7, he says,
Samsung Series 9 NP900X3A, to have their music rebroadcast on a service like this (though he'll happily take an artist off the site if they ask).
Unlike Pandora,
Panasonic AG HPX170, you don't create your own channels in Console.fm. But if you like electronica,
Toshiba Tecra R840-S8430, it's got a good mix. Each channel is curated by a combination of algorithm (which wasn't explained to me) and human intelligence from co-founder Alex Manelis.

MOUNTAIN VIEW,
Alienware M14x, Calif.--If Console.fm is an indication,
Panasonic AG-HMC70, we are about to be deluged by a new kind of streaming music service.
If the economics work as Baldwin says they do,
ELITE 8540W, it should not be hard for anyone who bothers to register as a DMCA agent to start up a site like this,
THINKPAD T400S, in this or any other genre. It might be an especially good extension for radio stations,
Canon XL1, for example,
HP EliteBook 2740p XT935UT, so they can highlight up-and-coming or local artists. As it has always been in the music industry,
Panasonic AG HVX205A, it'll be the skill of the DJ that makes a streaming service like this work,
hp 2540P, or kills it.
