Tech giant Amazon
is building a new app, codenamed “Project Mic“.
This gives anyone
the ability to make and distribute a live radio show complete with music.
Project
Mic‘s goal is to democratise and reinvent
the radio.
Listeners can tune in through the
app as well as through Audible, Amazon Music, Twitch and Alexa-equipped devices.
Anyone will be able
to pull from Amazon’s music catalogue to arrange their programme.
With this, Amazon
joins the likes of Apple, Spotify and even Sonos.
These firms work
with music curators to host shows and try to replicate the radio experience
digitally.
