The story
Based in New York City, Jango was launched in November 2007 by Daniel Kaufman, Chris Dowhan, and Giancarlo Delmo who were previously the founders of Dash.com.
In 2007, Jango became the first music streaming platform to introduce a social networking aspect to playlists. Users were able to share their playlists or listen to playlists created by others. This has been removed since then.
In 2009, the site sold guaranteed plays to independent artists which would be featured alongside similar artists through Jango Airplay. Any song receiving 50 upvotes from the listeners would get pushed into the regular playlist rotation at no extra cost.
Jango Airplay has since been rebranded as RadioAirplay. It now only sells a subscription service which guarantees a specific amount of plays on Jango each tier.
