- Post subject: Music Websites
|
This is a pretty broad topic that I'm starting to find out what are some good Music Websites out there?
I know that is a rather vague question, so to help describe what I'm getting at, I'll tell you some of the best ones I know of:
www.rateyourmusic.com a way to catalogue, rate, discuss, and find music
www.last.fm/ catalogues every song you play digitally and compiles a list of artists you listen to the most then connects you with neighbours who listen to the same bands. If anyone is using Last.FM I would like to add you as a friend. My username is Elstonn (ya, two n's)
My favourite sites for finding good music:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/search/pi...0%20albums
http://www.scaruffi.com/music.html
http://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/index.php
and this site of course, the forums as well as the lists
What other sites are a good way of finding music?

great site for looking up basically whatever you wanted to know about anything having to do with music. Also good for finding new bands.

www.pandora.com - internet radio where you put in the name of an artist, and they'll make a playlist of similar musicians. its pretty good for finding new artists and also lets you listen to new music for free
www.emusic.com - decent selection but great price being as low as 25 cents a song. its one of my favorite sources for digital music

Bump. If anyone is using last.fm please add me. It's a great website if you listen to a lot music on an mp3 player/computer.

I found a lot of good stuff on eMusic a couple of months ago. I was mainly looking for new releases and world music and it seems to have quite an exhaustive supply. However, their credit system is annoying and I'm reluctant to sign up.

Lastfm does exactly that same thing. I never let Lastfm do the "search through my playlist" thing, though, as I don't know their revenue model but am willing to bet it has to do with getting you to allow their cookies onto your PC.

The best program for listening to music is really spotify, it streams like 5 million songs or something and you can listen to them all for free in your computer, don't know if it's working in the states though... For finding new music i use allmusic and wikipedia, i really don't like Scaruffis site, his ratings are pretty fucked up, he just looks at how original and strange a album is really, i mean how can a person give Chelsea Girls by Nico a 4/10, or ...Endtroducing by DJ Shadow a 7/10... It's kinda fun he likes Kanye West though....
