Maestro Music, Inc. operates a socially interactive music portal that allows users to access their media remotely and share their listening tastes with friends. After downloading a free web-based application, users can manage and manipulate their own libraries as well as listen to friends’ playlists from anywhere with a browser without the need to synchronize multiple devices. Users can explore content on the artists and songs themselves as well as purchase music through the site.
Maestro is along lines of last.fm, imeem.com or ilike.com but the difference is Maestro built a playlist-based social music discovery engine integrated into a remote access platform. The focus is on creating socially interactive ways to access and listen to your music and other Maestro playlists from anywhere.

Maestro.fm is a social music and playlist discovery platform that allows users to access music and playlists through any browser, find out what their friends are listening to and who’s listening to you. Additionally, users can manage and listen to their playlists online, send to friends or stream directly to their MySpace or Facebook profiles. Users can find playlists and music they want to hear, view related content such as artist bios, reviews, lyrics, photos, and videos as well as purchase MP3s and ringtones for the songs they discover.
The full user experience requires users to download the Maestro Connector client application to a home Mac or PC so users can scan their music collection, sync their iTunes playlists online and interact with everything through Maestro.fm. Users who do not wish to download the Maestro Connector can still have a robust passive music experience by finding and listening to playlists created by other Maestro members.

The Maestro.fm Facebook application allows users to extend the use of their favorite Maestro playlists by adding them to their Facebook profile so that anyone viewing your profile can click on any of the songs at any time to change which song they are listening to without affecting anything else on your profile. If the ‘favorite’ playlists option is selected, visitors to your profile can peruse and listen to your favorited playlists.
