It's your chance to be a music scout. Jamernot uses geolocation of music and fan proximity to make the experience local. The content is streamed from the artist's SoundCloud page. Each piece of music is judged by the user with a like or a dislike with the swipe to the right or left respectively. User's “Likes” are stored forever on the Jamernot music player called the JamerBox. On the JamerBox, fans organize their library, create playlist, and plug-in socially. Algorithms analyze the trends of the network creating a dynamic experience. Jamernot rewards users the more music they judge and the they plug liked tracks socially by increasing their clout on the network. Jamernot has a patent pending process to deliver geolocated content to geolocated users to create geolocated trends.</span></p>
