Songza: The music search engine & internet jukebox.

I've played around with a lot of different music sites, and they've always left me slightly dissatisfied - they don't have the (odd, very odd) tunes that I like, or I have to listen to their selection based on a few of mine, or the interface is poor. Finally however (thanks to lo-fi librarian) I've discovered Songza: The music search engine & internet jukebox. Just look for the tunes that interest you, and it pulls them from a wide range of resources and plays them. Just those. The full version. And you can save them into a play list if you register (free). The only disadvantage is that you can't download them, although there's a link to buy them, or watch videos if they're available.

As you'd expect, there's the social element, in that you can subscribe to an RSS feed, or share songs with friends. Songza will also create a webpage that you can share with people (though I don't really like the orange/brown colour scheme). You can take a look at mine if you so desire, though I warn you, it's a very ... strange collection!

It's good to know there are other Penguin Cafe Orchestra fans out there!!

I use it since 3/4 months and I'm totaly satisfied. No heavy interface, just minimum required to search and listen musics :)

Strange? No way -- the best collection I've seen for a long time! Except that you haven't got the full version of Nights in White Satin with the poem on the end!
And there I was listening to finetune -- and then got into something quite different!

Well, if you find it Hazel, send me a copy of it via the site! :)

Alison - yeah, love PCO, but never got to see them live, more's the pity.
