eMusic + Internet Radio Mash-up
27Jun07
By now you have heard about the plight of internet radio (if you haven’t, check out this 17 Dots post or Save Net Radio). It’s a serious and urgent issue that will have dramatic consequences for the future of free, legal music on the web.
We also wanted to take this chance to debut a cool new mash-up developed by one of our senior product managers, Jon Strunk. Check it out here. This syncs streams of various internet radio stations — KEXP, KCRW, WOXY, etc — with the eMusic catalogue, providing you with the opportunity to download music as you listen to it. It’s an awesome application, and one that will undoubtedly help you discover new artists.
so, about that link…
fixin’ it soon?
whoops! it’s fixed now. sorry.
It’s bad enough that 17 Dots makes me use up most of my downloads and extends my Save for Later list. Now I can listen to WOXY and immediately download songs? Bring on the booster packs. Seriously, this is great.
And if nothing else, one must appreciate that the volume goes up to 11.
anyone know if the page will still work if I don’t use the web player? I hate web players…
Yes, you can stop the web audio player and it will continue to match against the eMusic catalog and store the playlist under the “recently played” tab. I sometimes leave it in this mode for a few hours during the day and come back later and sample the matches in the “recently played” tab.
Sorry to report that SomaFM has opted not to be included. I’ll add others to make up for it. Toying with Last.fm … stay tuned.
What happened to the Pandora mashup? It’s gone? So sad…
