There used to be this web 2.0 site thesixtyone.com in 2009. It was doing music discovery with gamification and social ... I haven't seen anything since.
It had some great indie music to discover. Through gamification you were rewarded to hear new songs and different genres. You could follow people who liked similar music and listen to their favourites.
Todays music streaming services have not tapped in the social component of music listening yet. It is way to hard to discover new music. Gamification could make it fun again.
I'm not sure why it worked - the small catalog was probably helping.
