TheRadio.com: More streaming music for you.

The Radio just launched in beta as the latest to offer streaming radio to your desktop/laptop. You can start listening immediately or build a custom playlist. You can search for an artist or genre to start your initial playlist or you can browse channels covering many genres and types. Songs you listen to appear under the history tab and you can listen to a previously played song again if you wish by clicking on it there.

To start my list I entered the group "Eels". I got "Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels." Well, it is beta; we'll check back.

We Are Hunted - a new online music source

We Are Hunted is an online music service that listens to what is happening in online music across blogs, social networks, forums, Twitter and P2P networks to chart the top songs online. In the physical world, charts are built on shipped albums. Online, traditionally, they have been a count of digital downloads. We Are Hunted is different in that it tracks sentiment, expression and advocacy.

Visually driven, intuitive and simple, We Are Hunted lets music fans discover and listen to new music and more importantly, join the conversation about it.

We Are Hunted is a collaboration between Wotnews and Native Digital. All they ask in return is that if you like the music featured on We are Hunted, support the artist and buy their music on iTunes.

iPhone App May be the Future of Music Downloads

It looks like iPhone apps might (will) be the next hot way to release music. This 10-track iPhone app from the Grammy-nominated electronic artist Deadmau5 lets anyone with an iPhone mix and remix every song in the album. The company plans to apply the same approach to several other electronica albums as well.

Deadmau5's iPhone app ($3 on iTunes) lets you load any of 10 quantized Deadmau5 tracks into its dual-track playback engine, which works pretty much like professional DJ software while being easy enough for anyone to experiment with.

You can change BPM, control up to four concurrent effects, skip to the next phrase or back to the last one, loop a phrase, and cross fade between the two tracks, or from one to the next. When some albums cost $18 on CD, a $3 album that includes the ability to remix it each time you listen seems like a pretty good deal. And since the tool is so easy to use, it lets anyone DJ a dance party by plugging their iPhone or iPod Touch into a stereo and letting 'er rip.

Songza - the music search engine and internet jukebox.

My friend Susan turned me onto this site and it is very cool. Type in a song title and get a list practically every version ever recorded by anyone - from the famous to the YouTube bunch. Then you can stream any version you might like to hear (or see if there is a video!) Give it a try at Songza.com.
