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.
