While the announcement of another music service is not out of the ordinary, a new one that is launching today has some features that will likely turn a few heads. The service is called Raditaz and prides itself with being the “future of Internet radio” for its unique geolocation layer.

As Tom Brophy, the company’s CEO explained to WebProNews, Raditaz allows users to discover and listen to music from a catalog of over 14 million songs, see what music is trending locally, and share music with their friends. In addition, users can create new stations and tag them with keywords such as #running, #beach, etc.

Brophy told us that, because users are so accustomed to a personalized music experience, traditional radio outlets aren’t as effective as they once were. According to him, there are 80 million Internet radio listeners, which is a number that is expected to grow over time. With this growth combined with the need for a personalized radio experience, Brophy believes that Raditaz introduces the “future of Internet radio.”

The app is free and is available for download on both the iOS and Android platforms. How do you think it compares with services like Pandora?
