Musicovery
January 30th, 2007 | Published in Uncategorized
In regards to my post earlier (in December) about services like Last.FM, iLike and Pandora, here’s a new service where the basic idea is about the same, but the UI is quite different: Musicology.
While I like the colorful design, mindmap-like approach and the ease of use, the music collection isn’t nearly big enough to satisfy me. I chose “non-hit” dance, and what did I get: Bob Sinclair, Moby, Armand van Helden, and…. Gloria Gaynor!
I can’t find out on the site where do the tunes come from (Amazon?), and what are the ways to expand the library. The great thing is that Musicovery gives direct links to iTunes and Amazon to buy the music. If the music library gets bigger, this can work. Musicology is currently in version “beta 2.2.”
