We all know by know that Apple doesn’t do social well at all, and that includes Apple Music. Its failed attempts with Ping and Connect underscore the company’s lack of understanding in attempting to engage customers in the social realm. However, I’ve been testing a free new app called SoundShare that really gets the integration of social and music.

SoundShare currently works with Youtube, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer and SoundCloud. The true magic of SoundShare is not that it supports so many services, it’s that those services can be integrated into collaborative playlists in one app.

Here is how the developer of the app describes it:

When a user creates a playlist inside SoundShare, they can simply add any song they want to it. No matter which music service they are using. For example, let’s say a user just created a SoundShare account and is using Youtube as the audio source. Let’s call him Andy. After searching for a song, Andy can add it to any playlist. In this example, let’s say the Rock playlist.

Now, we have another user, Lisa. Lisa also loves Rock, but she is currently using SoundShare with her Apple Music account. Since Lisa is on SoundShare, she already sees Andy’s Rock playlist. When Andy invites her to also collaborate on it, Lisa is granted permission to add/remove any song she wants. Even though Lisa uses Apple Music and Andy doesn’t, Lisa can go on and simply add any song to it. Andy will see the song she added and if it’s available on Youtube, will also be able to play it, while Lisa will play it using her Apple Music subscription, all without ever leaving SoundShare.

The same principle works for any Spotify user, Deezer user and iTunes users (SoundShare loads and plays the songs that were synced with the device).

With SoundShare and Apple Music (I’ll use that service as my example), friends can follow me and see what songs I’m listening to—you can also keep your profile private if you wish, but that’s not very social.

You can even share songs on SoundShare directly from the Apple Music app using the share tab. Just choose SoundShare when you share the song and it will be there the next time you open the app.

Users can comment on the songs I listen to, like the songs, and basically interact with me based on the music I’m listening to that day, no matter what service I’m using.

With the amount of artists Apple knows in the industry, imagine what they could do with a service like this. I would definitely follow Slash, Ozzy, and Zakk Wylde. That is an incredible way to find new music that your favorite artists are listening to.

One of the big questions is what if you don’t belong to any music service? SoundShare has that covered too:

The cool thing is that if you don’t use any music service, SoundShare will still work. This is where the Youtube integration kicks in. SoundShare uses Youtube to play every song to a user that doesn’t own a Spotify Premium Account, a Deezer account or that have Apple Music. And he can also interact with every other user inside the network, no matter which music service they are using.

SoundShare is free to download and use. It’s on the App Store now.
