Friday Late Link – Free On-Demand Music (Feb 9, 2008)

I was going to link to a list of the symptoms of severe food poisoning and leave off at that.  But after sleeping sixteen hours out of the last twenty-four (I won't get too graphic about how I spent the other eight hours but you can imagine…



…I'm feeling a bit better so I decided to do a regular Friday Fun Link, if one day late.)

During a public session a couple weeks ago, I got asked if there was a web site where a person could type in a song and have it play automatically.  My best suggestion was MeeMix.  But I forgot about a couple interfaces I'd seen which use Google's advanced search to find MP3's that people have uploaded to their web sites.  Then a recent MetaFilter thread unveiled a couple more – Songza and Songerize.  So here's a list of all of them that I know about ( should also mention QTrax that was launched recently but down for the time being due to overwhelming interest):

Songerize

Songza

G2P

Google MP3 Search

  1. Holy Crap. (Pun only partially intended).
    Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well, but glad to hear you're all better now. I'm eyeing those empty TP rolls with envy – be a saint and take them to one of your library system's children's librarians. Someone will be able to make crafts out of them, I'm sure.

  2. Sorry, that photo's a borrowed one off of Flickr – not an actual shot of our bathroom at any time during the past day and a half. I thought it was quite fitting though!
