"Music startup Whyd launched its social music streaming iOS app Monday. The app aims to provide a centralized music streaming service by pulling songs from other platforms around the web so its users can play and share nearly any song almost instantly.\nSee also: The 25 Best Free iPad Apps\nThe app functions much like the company's web-based social streaming service that first launched in 2012. It allows users to collect and share songs culled from other streaming services, including SoundCloud, Vimeo, YouTube and Spotify without leaving the app.\n\"The significance might be lost on some people, who just assume that everything should also come in app form,\" the company wrote in a blog post. \"But music is social at its core, and it is inseparable from our favorite life experiences.\"\n\nImage:  WhydAfter creating a profile, search the app for individual songs or playlists created by other users. You can stream songs individually or collect tracks into playlists of your own, which get shared on your profile.\nThe Paris-based startup raised $700,000 in funding earlier this year after making the web version of its service open to the public after an extended closed beta.\nThe app is designed thoughtfully and tracks load surprisingly quickly. Many of its songs come from more indie-centric sources like Soundcloud and music blogs, meaning that even more obscure tracks are easy to find \u2014 though there's no shortage of more mainstream and Top 40 songs.\nWhyd claims it is already working on an Android app, but Windows Phone users \"might have to wait a little bit longer.\"\nHave something to add to this story?
