Internet Music: Six Web Sites To Learn About Music While Listening To It
WikiFM - not the most beautiful site to look at (let’s be honest here, it’s ugly), but I love it. The premise is very simple: divide the page into two frames, load a Last.FM player in one and show the related Wikipedia page in the other, according to whatever is playing at the moment. I’ve found this one an hour ago and I’m still having fun with it, hopefully it doesn’t lead into another internet addiction, because I have more than enough of those. You can search by artists, tag, user name, group; alternatively you can simply enter a Last.FM URL. I can already see a beautiful, black background, AIR-based music player based on the idea…I’m dreaming, right? BTW, for completeness’ sake, I need to mention that Last.FM is by itself a fantastic place to read about music while you’re listening to it, due to their detailed info pages for each artist. But you already know this.
MusicMesh - this is actually a solid Pandora clone, mashup-style: search for an artist, and get a tree of related artists; you can listen to music if MusicMesh can find a video for a particular track on YouTube, which doesn’t always work too great. But, you can also read user reviews, Wikipedia info, or even buy music on Amazon. Pity the design is such that everything is cramped into small boxes, which severely diminishes the usefulness of this otherwise solid site.
