Instant Music & Messaging

Communication is and has always been important for the human as we are designed by evolution to communicate as a way to survive and reproduce. What many people do not think about is that music and communication are very closely related due to the fact that music is a type of communication. In this thesis we have focused on the field of music and communication to discuss the possibility of combining these to areas to provide better information technology services. More specifically we have focused on discussing the advantages of combining the communication technology of instant messaging with music playback. Our goals are that it will increase the user experience as well as indirectly help the music industry to promote artists and their music as the communicating peers will be able to share information about their music in a more efficient way.
