Discover Our Music.com

DiscoverOurMusic.com is the site I co-own with my buddy Kristine. The whole project was her idea, and I've produced the HTML, codebehind and SQL code. Kristine did help me a lot with the new version's SQL code though - because yes, there is a new version that's coming out pretty soon.

The template ain't crap anymore. We added some google ads, we have an artist page, a classifieds section, a flash music player on the artist's page (instead of a Windows Media Player pop-up) - and we hope to have everything up and running by next week.

If you're a music artist, why choose us instead of MySpace? The answer's simple - because MySpace ain't specialised in Music. MySpace is a networking site - huge - around 105 million users - and it can't be compared to a community anymore. You'll be placing your music on MySpace but you will still have to compete against all the non-music content that people are submitting over there, i.e. pictures, movies, blog entries and personal information. Finding your music would be similar to finding something on the net.

We're a site which focuses on the music - people looking for music will come to our site to listen to you. That is why we're better, and that is what we're going to prove very soon.
