AAMPP’s App Update Connects More Fans with More Music

By Carolyn Heneghan

Launched on the App Store just last night, the social music network AAMPP is finally officially open to the music-loving masses. We’ve excitedly watched AAMPP leading up to this launch, and now it’s time to turn AAMPP over to you, with the newest update to their iOS mobile app.

After opening AAMPP®, a swipe-able banner features various artists on the site, followed by rows that reveal categories of artists and their albums. Clicking on an artist’s Music Identity™ brings up an album’s track list, along with a green follow button at the top, and a bar along the bottom for Music, Pulse™, and Account.

Following an artist’s Music Identity will populate your Pulse with posts from that artist. The Pulse collects social media updates from all of the artists you’re following; similar to a Twitter stream or Facebook Newsfeed.

In the Pulse, users can now Shout™ directly in the app, to post images, music and text in real time from their phones.  The ability to Shout Out™, or otherwise share Shouts from the Pulse is especially valuable source of music discovery for app users. If, by some chance, users should Shout something but then wish to remove it, a simple tap of the “X”  available on updates now brings up a prompt allowing the content to be deleted.

In addition to the Music Identity and Pulse screens, swiping to the right pulls up a list of  genres. Choosing a genre prompts a screen similar to the home page but is catered to the genre you have chosen. This makes browsing for new artists even easier, as artists are filtered by particular genres or moods.

The star at the top of every genre and artist page allows users to access their “Favorites” list, which also functions as a playlist of selected songs.

Browsing is enabled during playback, and a small player and transport panel is revealed with a simple swipe.

AAMPP has combined the best aspects of social media and online musician presence, into one user-friendly app. Their slogan, “Connecting the World to Music,” clarifies AAMPP’s mission: to interactively connect users, whether fan or professional in the industry, to both music and artists they love.

You can download AAMPP for free on the iTunes App Store.
