It is rather new to music, but already often used to create films and in other industries. Collaborative commerce, the commercial project cooperation, and crowd sourcing is used at film to write rounded scripts and in marketing in general to improve products and the like. In literature even an own genre is known, collaborative writing or hypertext fiction.

merge.fm now brings this approach to the music creation process. The platform enables the collaboration between fans and musicians to create songs, to write song texts and similar things. Indie Music Tech has another review of the service including a video.

Similar services are available at music business, online music tools and music sharing.
