This month we've partnered with our friends at the SanFran MusicTech Summit to bring you some of the finest music tech demos this side of Bakersfield.  

Taking to the stage for 5 minute live demos ...

Blip.fm

Jeff Yasuda, CEO & Founder

Described as the "Twitter for music" by TechCrunch, Blip.fm is a social music discovery service powered by your most trusted sources: your friends and favorite people. http://blip.fm

ArtistForce

Jonathan Romley, CEO & Founder

ArtistForce is the web based relationship management platform and professional marketplace for performing musicians. http://www.artistforce.com

JamLegend

Andrew Lee, CEO

JamLegend is music gaming online. Like the console games Rock Band and Guitar Hero, our music video game site allows players to simulate the playing of music. Unlike those games, our site will be free, offer an on-demand song list, and provide a better multi-player experience where you can play against your friends in a turn-based challenge or synchronously in a real-time tournament on the same song. http://www.jamlegend.com

ProjectPlaylist

Brenda Walker, Content Maven

With over 32 million registered users, ProjectPlaylist.com has become one of the largest music sites for discovering music, organizing playlists, and sharing music with friends.  The company's signature music widget is spread across a majority of the most popular blog sites and social networks including Myspace and Facebook and loads on over 1 billion web pages per month, making it the #5 most popular widget on the web.  http://projectplaylist.com

imthemusic

Roseanne Wincek, Co-Founder & Product Manager

imthemusic is like Yelp for music. It's a Facebook app for user-generated music reviews with built-in voting, so the community picks the best writers and reviews. http://www.imthemusic.com
