There are so many things that people do for living and when the number of people who have engaged in doing one of these things increases, that thing turns in to an industry. In this way many industries have emerged in the world today and there are some industries which are considered as main industries. And it is really hard to get established in these main industries, especially if you are new to the field. Although you have been in the field for some time, it takes dedication and lot of hard work to hang in it. Music industry is one of those industries which run the world and you have to be so competitive to survive in this industry.

We know that people love to listen to music and they are really interested in it. Taking these factors in to consideration, many platforms have established which allow the people to upload, listen and discover music which they are interested in. YouTube and SoundCloud are some of the most famous platforms available today. But the issue with these platforms is that you will get captured for copyright infringement when you upload mashups, DJs and remixes. As a person who love music and who want to succeed in the music industry, sometimes you need the help from these platforms, because it is one of the most efficient ways to get to the people. But when you are getting caught for copyright infringement even you created your own original tracks, then that is a big problem.

Putting a full stop to all these issue a new application has introduced to the world and same as the other music platforms, this also allows you to upload, listen and discover music. But unlike other platforms, this platform encourages the newcomers to be someone in the field and it encourages them to do the unorthodox in the industry. The application is DSound and it is a decentralized web application. This application uses STEEM blockchain as its persistent database and authors can earn rewards in STEEM cryptocurrency which can be converted to any currency including US Dollars and Euros. More the users going to love their content more they going to earn and it is the best music platform for someone who really need to get successful in the music industry. This great application was built by Pedro Reis Colaco who is a citizen of Portugal and he is also a music addict and one of the victims who got caught by the broken copyright law. He didn’t get down by these circumstances. He got inspired with it and built a platform which gives the opportunity to other people who got victimized like him.

You might be wondering about how to use the DSound application. Well it is really simple. First of all you have to create a STEEM account on steemit.com and you have to login to the DSound system with the use of STEEM account details. Then you have to enter your private posting key. You can find this private posting key in the wallet section. Once you get to the wallet section, there is a tab labeled as permission. Once you get to that section, you will see a button mentioning “Show private key”. Once you click that you will get your private posting key. With the use of this key you can use the DSound application.

DSound is an application which was created with the use of latest technologies and methodologies. So there are quite interesting features in this awesome application. When you are in the music industry, you might have got a different name to be used in the field. So because of that you will be needing multiple accounts to proceed. But it will be annoying to logging out from one account and logging in to another. Some web development specialists came with a solution for this issue and they introduced the multi-user login feature which is used in most of the social networks including Facebook and YouTube. This feature enables you to switch between your accounts. So DSound too integrated this feature to their application which made it easier for the DSound users to operate with multiple accounts by switching between them.
