It’s clear online music collaboration has potential. Mixmatchmusic came out of beta this week and there are a host of other similar services including Splice, eSession and digitalmusician.net. Electronic Musician magazine has an article online comparing a bunch of them but it’s from October 2007 so keep in mind things change fast online. To read the article: click here

Channelflip.com is a net “TV” channel full of tech stuff and they have profiled yet another competitor in the online music collaboration space called Rifflet. For any of these to succeed in the long term they need to be free (ad driven and paid pro-accounts sound good to me), beautiful, fast and have a strong community.

Have any of you tried any of these services? How was your experience?

I’ve been asked by a California startup to help get musicians to take their survey. They use the data to get VC funding and make their product better. They do have something unique in the works for musicians so I agreed to post the request. I also get access to the data which could help grab a few advertisers on this site. The good thing is the survey is one browser screen, eleven multiple choice questions. It will take you less than a minute so take a clicky and please help us out:
