To date, the startup claims over 14,000 monthly broadcasters attracting over 500,000 unique listeners each month. It’s hoped that the iPhone app will spur on further growth for Mixlr, as mobile has unsurprisingly been a much-requested feature. On the pure content consumption end, users can browse and search live broadcasts, listen with their friends (Mixlr ties into Facebook’s social graph), and get a personalised view of Mixlr via the ‘My Mixlr’ tab - a dashboard of sorts showing what your friends are listening to. These include the ability to broadcast “high quality audio” over 3G, 4G or WiFi, see who’s listening and chat in real-time, and save live broadcasts as an archive. Mixlr’s iOS app is a pretty fully-featured effort, supporting many of the same features as its desktop cousin. It also added further integration with SoundCloud, which is in someways also a competitor, with the ability to create live sets via SoundCloud playlists. It follows a relaunch of the Silicon Roundabout, London-based startup’s web offering which saw the service turn up the dial on its social features significantly - think: Twitter’s follower/following model with a sprinkling of Turntable.fm’s listening rooms - to enable broadcasters to interact with listeners in real-time, moving Mixlr beyond its roots as a ‘ UStream for audio‘.
