UGM is innately too cryptic and sci-fi for mass appeal. While UGM is in fact UGC, and UGC is all the rage, people will pay for good music. What would be more viable and vastly more interesting is a combination of UGM and preset loops that would produce "perfect" music. It could be as simple as a reaction to a user's pulse, and perhaps 2-3 other user-defined variables prior to and during workout, which could drive a dynamically driven bank of audio that would play appropriate music for the workout. Feel free to contact me to discuss how to make this possible if you're interested. /steven sburks (at) versaly (dot) com User-generated music (UGM) unfortunately won’t catch on as easily as user-generated content (UGC).
