The Hoopla Experience: Full Albums, Full Intent

Hoopla Digital offers the ability to borrow entire albums rather than individual tracks. This means that with hoopla, listeners can experience the artist’s work as it was intended—from the opening track to the final note. Other streaming services play individual songs, separate from others on its album. This fragmented listening experience leads to a superficial engagement with the music and with the artistic intentions of the musician.

When users borrow music on hoopla, they can immerse themselves in the complete body of work, forging a deeper appreciation of the artist’s intent, storytelling, and musical progression. It creates a more profound connection between the listener and the music.

Get the Full Album with hoopla

When everyone is talking about an artist’s album, hoopla lets library patrons join in the discussion, for free! Encouraging patrons to explore entire albums rather than just hit singles lets your patrons know that your library understands the cultural significance of a full album. Many popular artists drop easter eggs into their work. Each song in a musical adds up to tell a full story. With hoopla, patrons can take a deep dive into an artist’s project the way it’s intended to be heard.

Utilizing Hoopla’s Shuffle Feature

Another outstanding feature of hoopla Music is that hoopla will create a randomized playlist if that’s what the listener wants. Hoopla’s Shuffle feature allows users to mix tracks from multiple borrowed albums. Hoopla is different from other music streaming services because it lets users listen to a random playlist or a full album, depending on what they feel like listening to. Hoopla Shuffle plays music in a random, mixtape-style order, drawing from albums the patron has borrowed.

Hoopla Maintains the Artist’s Vision

By allowing library patrons to borrow full albums, hoopla honors the artist’s vision and encourages patrons to engage with music. These musical deep-dives encourage an appreciation of musical artistry and also allow patrons to join in on cultural conversations. And with Hoopla Shuffle, patrons can decide for themselves how to listen to the music they love.
