How could a music app use location? Here’s a case study.

Josie is an avid fan of Coldplay. She listens to several Coldplay stations she has tagged as favorites in her favorite music app. She likes to use the map feature in the app to see how many other Coldplay fans are in her area. She views top faves lists and song reviews from other users that have favorited Coldplay songs. She finds that fans often have interesting music recommendations for other bands that she wouldn’t have found on her own.
