Wakoopa, a Dutch company, was a social network and music discovery platform. Its primary function was to connect users based on their musical tastes and preferences. Users could create profiles, share their listening habits (primarily from their digital music libraries), and discover new artists and music through recommendations based on the collective listening patterns of their network and similar users.

The platform functioned as a social layer over users' music libraries. By connecting to various music services, Wakoopa would analyze a user's music collection, identifying artists, genres, and albums. This data then powered its recommendation engine and allowed users to compare their musical profiles with friends and others in the community. The social aspect fostered a sense of community around shared musical interests, encouraging discussions and the discovery of new music through the interactions and recommendations of others.

While the exact date of Wakoopa's launch is not readily available on their archived website, the platform was active for a significant period before eventually ceasing operations. The site's current state indicates it is no longer functional, suggesting the company has discontinued its services. The core of Wakoopa's functionality revolved around leveraging social interaction to enhance the music discovery experience, a novel approach at the time of its operation.
