One of the things I been thinking about for this blog is how I can integrate music that I like, preferably lengthy music mixes like for electronic. Then I saw a post over on ReadWriteWeb last night regarding 18 Streaming Music Resources which was pretty comprehensive.
I tested a few of the services and although I have used Last.fm and Pandora for years now, I need something that integrates well into a blog utilizing a widget which Pandora and Last.fm do not do very well in my honest opinion. Here are the few I tried:
- Imeem
- Lala
- SoundCloud
- 8tracks
- Grooveshark
Out of all of these, I found SoundCloud to be the most comprehensive with the best catalog of electronic music. Note below how you get a nice looking widget as well as a spectrogram and even comments built right into the widget. This is great for when someone can’t identify a track within a mix. Only downside is if I wish to upload my own tracks I need to have a pro account which starts at $12/month USD for 15 uploads per month. Guess that ain’t bad.
