Songza, a free streaming music service that has expert-made playlists and runs on the web and various touch screen platforms, has raised $3.8 million according to a SEC filing. We’ve reached out to both companies to get further detail and will update this post. A quick check on AngelList now names Amazon.com as an “unconfirmed” investors.
Falling between Spotify and Pandora, Songza has garnered much praise for allowing users to set up playlists based on day and time (so, work days and weekends), with filters for whatever mood you might be in, such as going to a party etc. and lets you impress you friends with your music choices in a way that having to curate your Spotify or Pandora choices just can’t.
Headquartered in Long Island City, NY, Songza was built by the team that founded crowd-priced MP3 download store AmieStreet.com in 2006 while at university.
