It's so easy to share pictures and videos with your entire social network, so why is it still a hassle to share your favourite songs? Sharing with friends who use different streaming services is especially difficult, and posting screenshots of what you're listening to simply doesn't cut it. Rhythm was created to solve these issues. Rhythm lets you share songs from Spotify Premium or Apple Music with your friends no matter which of these streaming services you subscribe to. Your news feed caters to your chosen streaming service, meaning that even when your friends post songs from the other service, you see the version that you can stream. If you like a song someone shares, save it directly to your Apple Music or Spotify library with the touch of a button.
Our team developed an iOS application that allows users to share songs, albums and playlists between Spotify and Apple Music. Rhythm ranked as the Top 40 music app within 24 hours of launching. We integrated Spotify and Apple Music SDK's to stream and save songs, albums, and playlists to users' personal Library directly from Rhythm. We also integrated Google Analytics to track a wide variety of user actions, allowing for data driven features and updates. We created an internal tool to assist with manually correcting the apps song/album matching algorithm, which has a ~97% match rate.
