• Spotify's benchmarks and UI are something we should strive for. The UI is simple and user-friendly, appealing to over 60 million subscribers and 140 active users 7 years after launching. 
• Pandora Radio's song recommendation engine technology is the best in the industry. While the company may be struggling to gain new users, they've been around for a long time and have perfected the curation process which we would like to learn from and build on for our own synchronization app.  
• Apple Music, being part of the larger Apple corporation, features simple, compelling branding similar to what TruMusic is shooting for. The company's recent acquisition of Shazam is also an interesting case of music app synchronization and something we have to keep our eye on for our future endeavors.
