TuneHub.net (pronounced with or without the ".net") is a music website, founded in Canada in 2011. It is currently in beta and active development.
The site was developed to allow easy to find and browse music with a consistent user-interface and minimal clutter.
The service is free to use and all the music available on the site is uploaded by its users in MP3 format.
History
Development
The website first commenced development in the summer of 2011, and entered beta status in December 2011. The site went into and is still in a public beta on February 24, 2012.
Features that have been added during the beta include artist statistics, music embedding, artist page customization, ease of use features, real-time music charts, upload progress, and numerous bug fixes.
Inception
The idea of the website was first brainstormed when owner became frustrated with the current music website offerings. Claiming they are all cluttered, hard to use, and developed with only the artist in mind, and not the actual fans, TuneHub was then imagined. Weeks were spent brain storming the use of a social music website, and how to fix the issues of existing websites, while allowing artists to easily promote their music.
Shortly after, development for TuneHub began.
Features
Audio
TuneHub is a rich internet application that is written in PHP and JavaScript. The music player defaults to Adobe Flash to output the audio, and can also use HTML5 if the plugin is not detected.
Multiple Artist Accounts
Users can administer and create multiple artist pages from a single account. The links to each page are available on the users profile, and each artist account can have separate secondary administrators. This feature enables Labels the ability to create multiple artist accounts, and the musicians to also have the ability to administer the accounts.
Statistics
Statistics become available to artists after a minimum of one song has been uploaded. Available statistics are 30-day history, 12-month history, demographics and song popularity which compares the popularity of multiple song uploads. The statistics of each of the artists song uploads can be viewed.
Artist Page Design
Users can customize their artist page allowing a more personalized feel to their page. Options available are changing the colour of links, the background colour, and adding a background image that can be set to a tile or static position.
Subscribing
Fans have the option to subscribe to Artists. When an artist updates their status, the status will be viewable on the fans profile page.
Sharing
The sharing of songs is extensively built into the website, allowing artists to promote their music on multiple social networks using one page. Available sharing features are social network buttons Facebook like, Google plus, Twitter and TuneHub Vibe.
The option to embed a song is available on TuneHub. The embed player can be customized allowing users to change the colours of the player, and if the player will automatically start playing on page load.
