The Sixty One is free social music player that lets people discover new music by social networking that allows people to vote in favor of songs. This website was founded by James Miao and Samuel Hsiung.

Music
Each song listed on the site has a play button, letting the user edit the song information, adding the song to their own playlist, share button, a watch button that allows users to watch embedded streaming music videos, and the genre. This website allows you to access different parts of the site while listening to music at the same time without interruption. The current song that is playing is shown in the upper right-hand corner with play, pause, next, and previous.

Bumping System
The bumping system is much like a voting system where users "bump" songs that they like, which will help the song get to the front page. To bump a song, you must listen to the song for one minute. However, bumping a song up costs 5 points. Points can be gained by logging in everyday, and by receiving points in songs that you have bumped that others have bumped after you. This creates a limitation between new bumpers, and long time members with more experience. Receiving points also helps you gain levels of experience in the community. In the right-hand corner, you will see your experience bar and how many points you have so far. Completing the bar will advance you to the next level. The benefits of gaining levels will enable you to bump a song more than once, letting you bump a song as much as what level you are at.
