New alternative music app

When it comes to the field ofonline music, Spotify and Apple Music are kings. Bothmultimediasoftware offer not only a huge library of music but other features that appeal to its users. Sure, there are othermusicapps available, but many still prefer these two for their daily music fix.Ressois yet another app to play in the field. Created by ByteDance, the brains behindTikTok, this app offersmore than music streaming. The app blends music streaming,social networking, anduser-generated content. With this, users can express themselves andconnectwith others through their favorite tracks.

Music meets social media

Loosely put, Resso is like amixofSpotify, TikTok, andInstagram. It lets youlistento music,uploadshort music videos and GIFs, andpost commentson individual songs in conversation threads. It is essentially a social network for music. With this, you can connect with other users who like the same playlist as you. On top of that, Resso also providessynchronized lyricsof the tracks you listen to, so you could sing-along whenever you like. The app even lets youadd lyricsto the song if you think there are missing or incorrect lines.

However, beyond these, Resso worksalmost the sameas Spotify andApple Music. After you log in—using either yourFacebookor Google ID—you select the language you'd like your music in. The app will then prompt you to choose at leastthree artistsyou like, so it can curate apersonalized playlist—known as Daily Mix—for you. You can select more artists if you like. To make your streaming engaging, you can upload Vibes—either a short video or GIF—to accompany the track you are playing.

With all its exciting features, Resso can be a big player in the music streaming. It marries two familiar ecosystems to offer somethingengagingandentirely fresh. More, these features do not affect the app's easy usability. However, users could do with a data-light version, and the music library can be more diversified to attract more users.
