This is where it's at for music in the new age mp3/streaming version of the Internet. Just a fantastic site....just about any song with LIVE streams from EVERY artist/band.
Snake was a big contributor to Youtube for 3 years with songs/videos, but grew past that. I learned of this website last.fm a year ago and really liked it, but now that I saw it was a free update for Xbox LIVE members (have to subscribe to last.fm) I just joined this site yesterday and couldn't be happier. Just amazing with the artists...haven't been unable to find anyone I've searched for, and doubt I ever buy another CD again now.
Here's how it works:
You don't have to join, but it's free and easy...and can Google any artist/band you want and add your fav. songs/artists, etc. It plays just about EVERY song from those artists (streams to your laptop/PC) and has smart AI to suggest songs/artists similar to your tastes. It's all free and great.
I discovered many artists/songs I never heard of (and have over 3000 CD's over the years). I'm a HUGE fan of music.
It's really addictive and something you can play in the background on your computer or Xbox 360...and free.
Check it out. It'd be fun to post up your tags/join if you want to see what the other Rats like/listen to as you can check out myriads of stats/songs/artists of what they listen to. For example, you can check out the type of music I listen to (most Rats prob. wouldn't like it) and add your own, etc. It's just awesomeness for music and totally free. Join up and add your thoughts.
Personally, Snake is mostly 90's underground rap, but enjoys some Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, Korn, Hinder, current rock, etc. You can also check other users that listened to a certain song/artist and see what they like/listen to...a great way to learn of new songs/artists you've never heard.
It's a work in progress, as I'll keep adding new artists as I hear them (just joined up), but this thread is a great, current way to expand your musical interests amongst other Rats. This has nothing to do with my rap/rock interests but your own...check it out...you'll see how this will change your outlook on PC music. You'll never need to own another CD...as you can listen to/burn those songs into mp3s but figure that one out yourself....Snake ain't saying how to do that.
Enjoy. Should be a fun thread. But check it out....Just amazing and you'll be using this everyday on your PC/laptop.
Feel free to offer up any other good music services for online use that you may use, as well.
