No need to kill yourself and search music in the wrong places

The Challenge

The goal was to create new design and transfer old version of the website to modern Ruby on Rails framework. The challenge was to transfer all databases of users, transactions, all music tracks and video clips.
Also client wanted to interact with users in one more way create. This is why we have created iOS and Android mobile apps.

Process

Important goal was to make user friendly site that will have clean and modern design using previous color scheme and logo.
Work on the project started from previous design analyzing.

We saved logo and color scheme but proposed clean and modern design where UI elements were surrounded by free space. That’s why interface is clean and intuitive.

Mobile apps were created keeping in mind website’s visual identity. This way product’s brand identity is respected both in web and mobile.
Also mobile apps are developed satisfying iOS and Android design guidelines. Following guidelines makes interactions with app easy and intuitive for all people that are used to their operation system.

Functionality

Filter

Filtering makes process of looking for music or video tracks easier. Users can filter their search by artist name, title, genre or BPM.

Subscription

There are four different subscriptions: for month, for three months, for six months and for a year.
All subscriptions are auto-renewable. It means that users don’t have to spend time entering their info and making payment when their subscription period will come to the end.

This is why Latino Music Pool users are sure that they have ability to find, listen, watch and download whenever they visit the site.

Custom Player

Exclusively for Latino Music Pool we have created custom player. It is simple and useful.

Customization allowed our team to avoid using existing players and provide same to the whole app style and feel of the player.

Download List

Users can listen and add music to download lists from their mobile apps. Then they can check the list and download content from their profile on the site.
We decided to implement this functionality to mobile apps instead of giving ability to download content. We got to obey AppStore Privacy Policy to make app available there.

Charts

There are two types of charts on the site:

• Chart based on website users’ preferences. Chart can be filtered by top downloaded tracks for day, week or month.
• Radio chart is based on downloading exported from radio stations CSV and its parsing.

Blog

There is also blog where website rulers can share news about their project.

Result

Our team did good job in creating new design and keeping in mind previous product’s color scheme and logo.
Now website is developing, we keep improving it by automating some routine admin’s operations.
Site evolves, generates revenue and gives access to the tones of good latin music for DJs.
