“We’re here to make music social again,” promises the App Store listing for iPhone app Joox.fm. Why has nobody else thought of this in the last two years of digital music? Oh. Perhaps take with a pinch of salt, too, the claim that the app “provides the ultimate music sharing experience” too. What is Joox.fm then? It’s a social music playlists app that pulls the music from YouTube and SoundCloud – so no licensing, despite the fact that it downloads music to cache on the device for offline listening.
