#2I guess the market is saturated with similar apps. It's getting all the listeners and bands both to come together on one platform which is the difficult part. It's also a chicken and egg problem.
I do love thesixtyone.com, i thought they'd done a good job for discovering new music... until their new UI design.

OK, so the market is saturated with similar apps. - however - it is still very early days with regards to internet radio and there is still plenty of opportunity and room for innovation and indeed, profit. More so, if done in a collaborative, non profit kind of way...if you get me..
Existing apps. are by no means perfect - Last.fm makes very obvious recommendations - I type in Jimi Hendrix and it plays me The Doors. I want it to play me Space Guitar by Johnny Guitar Watson but I didn't know that. Or perhaps some 60's Jap Rock...
So there's that and there's also the apps. that just focus on indie/unsigned music. I think they are leaving out a lot of the good stuff by limiting themselves to offering just unsigned material.

#5I believe YC startup TheSixtyOne (http://www.thesixtyone.com/) has something along the lines of what you might be interested in looking at. I know it's not open source, but a good inspiration nonetheless.
