The Gap Is Letting Customers Choose the Store's Music

If you've ever thought "The music in this store is so annoying/loud/repetitive that it makes me want to leave without buying anything," you're far from alone. A Gap location in San Francisco is appealing to customers by letting them have a say in the store's music playlist. They've teamed up with Roqbot, a music-streaming app, to pick songs they'd like to hear in the store. The San Fran location is a tester, so if the app does well there, there's a chance it could expand throughout the country next year.

Here's how it works: once you're inside the store, which is on Chestnut Street, you can download (or just open, if you already have it} Roqbot on your iPhone or Android. From there, you can request your own songs, vote yay or nay on songs other shoppers have chosen, view the store's Pandora playlist, and more.
