  Music over the Internet
 

Music over the Internet is going thru some major changes. In particular, web sites offer 'personalised' services where the music played can be tailored to your personal interests and musical favorites.
The material on this page is largely based on an article on Web Music in the International Herald Tribune for March 29th. 2007.


  Here is a series of Useful Links
 

 
 
Radio.com A good place to start if you are looking for an overview of what's going on.
Filter Offers about 20 different types of music and can analyse your music collection to come up with recommendations.
Goombah Asks you to download software which analyses your entire music collection,then offers free downloads and connects you to music fans with similar tastes.
Last.fm The orignal 'social networking site' based on similar tastes in music. Started in 2003 in the UK, and similar to Pandora.
Mog Uses software to analyse your music library and then plays songs you might like. Introduces you to a lively community of music lovers who talk about concerts, post MP3s and share videos.
Musicovery Offers free music (Blues, Classical, Funk, Gospel, Reggae, Soul, etc.) to suit different moods (Calm, Dark, Energetic and Positive) - definitely worth trying
Pandora Start with this one - it's great ! You can create your own broadcasts straight away. No download is required - you just give the names of some people you like and Pandora puts together a corresponding Playlist (that you can easily modify) based on an analysis of 400 different characteristics. It asks for a US Zip Code,which is similar to a UK Postcode.
Slacker Beware - downloads an Active X Control without warning !!!
Soul-Sides This is different from the others on this page because it doesn't play music. It's maintained by Oliver Wang in California and described as "one of the very best AudioBlogs" so that you can share your interests in Soul and related issues.
Soundflavor A Playlist Generator - discovers songs from your library and gets free songs that match your taste.
Southern Soul Radio WOW !!! check this out for music of a rare quality.
Zyonsven Described as "A treat for vintage soul music lovers", but no music played and nothing worked when I tried it so I can't recommend this site.
