Every year, our developers create dozens of applications and technologies that are only used for one promotion, or not at all. We keep these unique and interesting concepts because they have potential, and we give our developers the freedom to explore them on company time. Our hope is to create entirely new to offer our clients. The cutting edge music industry always wants to do something new and different; at Metablocks, we are trying to come up with it first.
One of these one-time widgets was the JUNO Awards (Canada's Music Awards) Playlist Contest App. This app allows fans to build and share a playlist from an interactive 'Cover Flow' style album/song selector. It's flexible with its ability to view by artist, year, and title (and other parameters), and drag-and-drop functionality to design a playlist. You can check it out here: http://priority.widgetmatic.com/junoVote/widget.html
