Muxtape.com - Not your typical streaming site as users make up their own “mix tapes” of up to 12 songs, and then share them with anyone.

Spinjay.com - Create playlists and have people vote on them to make you a popular “DJ”, or simply browse through the existing ones and listen.

Music Discovery

Blip.fm -A “Twitter” for music that lets you tell others what you are listening to and embeds the music in your post, making an ever growing playlist by following the main timeline of the site.  Check out the Mashable Conversations interview with Gavin Hayes, lead singer of Dredg, we did a while back about the site.

Finetune.com - As you find music you like, you can add it to a playlist which you can then embed in your site.

Musicovery.com - Name your “mood” and Musicovery starts playing music based on that.  It then follows a progression based on your votes for the song, or you can jump around on the other suggestions on the screen.

Pandora.com - Many people were depressed when Pandora had to shut down its non-U.S. streams, but the site lives on.  Enter the name of a song or artist you like, the site analyzes it, and builds a channel on that style of music.

Soundpedia.com - Similar to Pandora in that you start with artist and then it builds a station based on that style/genre of music.

Dizzler.com - Search for streaming music, radio stations, video and more.

Jiwa.fm - Search for music you like and Jiwa will search for streams of it.

SeeqPod.com - Even though its legality has been called into question, Seeqpod allows you to search the Internet for publicly available MP3s for you to listen to.

Skreemr.com - Like SeeqPod, Skreemr allows you to search for all of those allusive tracks you’d rather just listen to then admit you have them on your iPod.

Remember Muxtape, that painfully simple yet really effective way of creating online mixtapes, err…muxtapes? I thought it would only appeal for us melancholy types who still can’t get over the wonderful era of cassette tapes, but it caught on; there are many thousands of muxtapes available right now, and a couple of interesting applications grew from the concept.

One of these is Muxtape Stumbler, which allows you to find muxtapes according to artist or track. The former, unlike the latter, will yield results which don’t necessary contain the artist you’ve searched for. It doesn’t seem like much, but try it out: I swear it’s the best way to discover new music right now.

Besides the search function, Muxtape Stumber also maintains a list of top artists, top tracks and top artist searches featured on the service. It’s fun; the only problem, unfortunately, is that RIAA will probably eventually find out about it.

For alternative ways to search Muxtape see MuxFind, a straightforward but also effective search engine.

MeeMix, internet radio site somewhat similar to Pandora, lets you quickly find new music you like. It goes one step further than Pandora, though, and lets you create custom stations which can be shared with other users within the MeeMix network. Also, unlike Pandora, it currently works outside of the US, which might turn out to be a killer feature as many Pandora fans have been left high and dry because of licensing issues.

MeeMix will also start giving artists a chance to customize their personal MeeMix page. They will be able upload their music to the site themselves, create their own profile as well as widgets (which will work on social networking sites such as MySpace) with various stats on their music. In turn, they get notified of new fans and comments, as well as new stations based on their music; they also get statistics about their fanbase.

Obviously, these features are aimed at upcoming artists that’ll probably welcome the possibility to customize their own profile pages and get stats about their listeners.

Here’s how all this sounds in marketingese, courtesy of CEO Gilad Shlang: “We offer a unique opportunity for musicians to connect more broadly with their fan base. Since discovery is a great part of the MeeMix experience, we want artists to reach brand new audiences based on their musical style and sound. Let the music come to potential fans rather than having fans search for music.”
