 I worked at a music startup back in 2000 called Epitonic. We made
 arrangements with small record labels to allow music downloads as well
 as to make a "music locker" where you could create your own playlists
 online.

 The music was curated by a team of people, and they featured "Genre
 Walkthroughs", where they'd go into the history of each genre and then
 offer a playlist.

 Some of the arguments onsite were amusing. Was LTJ Bukem Jungle,
 breakbeat, D&B or IDM? Maybe his older stuff was jungle but the newer
 tracks were neosoul/triphop?

 There were so many subgenres that it was difficult to figure which
 artist went in which genre.

 It was a great idea at the wrong time. the record indiustry painted
 MP3s as piracy, even though our site had licensed the tracks for
 download. Online streaming was still new - curated, streaming on-demand
 playlists would be popular later with Spotify when more bandwidth
 became available.
