How Do You Find Music Online?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
What kind of music do you listen to? I personally have quite a wide variety in my playlist. I like a little bit of everything… just about. If you want to listen to a song “right now”, what do you do? Maybe you use Rhapsody like I do, or even use iTunes. Well, there’s another source that I’ve recently come across.
At TinySong, you type in the name of a track. The service searches the Web, and within a few seconds it will play it back. I kid you not. That’s all there is to it, and it’s so fast and simple to use. Once I have the song, it gives me a link. I can pass the link along to my friends and have them listen to it. Or, I can press a different button, and the song will open in GrooveShark.
Any song you can think of, you’ll likely find on TinySong. I have searched for some really obscure stuff, and the track I wanted was found every time within seconds. I know, that Cut the Mullet song has to go. I’m sorry, I can’t help it. I love the song! It doesn’t matter that Kat is bashing her head on the desk repeatedly when I play it over and over. She’ll survive… I think.
I’m telling you. Go and search for any song you’ve heard in your entire life. If you cannot find it on TinySong (which then redirects you to GrooveShark), I would be surprised. I’d be interested in hearing about the ones that weren’t found.
If you know of strange or obscure music that you think I may not have heard of, let me know. It’s because of my chat room that I started listening to Daft Punk. I have to thank them for that. See how this whole live thing works? The interaction is awesome!

Hi, here’s some “obscure music”: the british band “West India Company”, they made sythpop with indian influencies… and I can’t find them in Tinysong :(. But nevertheless, it’s a cool music search engine :)

I just looked at the website and I love it! It’s so compact and easy to use that I can even find some of the obsure, unpopular bands that are sometimes a better listen. You just continually surprise me with all of these random, good sites that I never knew existed. Thank you so much!

As i was reading the show script i noticed Pandora wasn’t mentioned but as I listened to the video I noticed that he mentioned it. Just posting so that the link is included somewhere around the post. And here it is: http://www.pandora.com

Great search engine, but it didn’t find The Optimist by Skinless. I’m still trying some death metal.
