Auto-Tune for the win, finally I can sing!

Sony has a fun little Facebook-app that lets you post auto-tuned audio-status-updates to your wall …the best thing to happen since the T-Pain iPhone app.

Wearehunted – social charts

no secret, I have a soft spot for websites advancing music-charts on the web. being based on sources like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and even P2P-Networks current traffic, We are hunted gives charts a social twist. great site, but I keep forgetting its URL, hence this blog-post

ps: of course there’s also still charts.fm, where [...]

Mugasha – dj mixes with a twist (get invites!)

if you’re into electronic/dance/club-music you’ll agree that the experience of listening to dj-mixes online is far from perfect: music is consumed in large chunks of several hundred mbytes, often without tracklists or other metadata, certainly without cue-points (and therefor no ability to skip tracks). enter Mugasha. all mixes offered at Mugasha include detailed cue-lists & tracklists, [...]

Testdrive: G1 music apps

it’s been almost a week since I first started testing the G1, and so far my initial impression hasn’t really changed that much. like many of my fellow testers I’m disappointed by many aspects of both hardware and software. while the former would make me wait for a successor (I guess the G2 can’t be [...]

Rocketsurgeon’s Music 2.0 Directory

Jadam Kahn from Rocketsurgeon has started a new directory of Music 2.0-related services. the blog-styled listing already contains more than 200 entries, including short descriptions + categorization. the only thing I’m missing are site-thumbnails (I really don’t like those snap-previews) and a search-box…

Last.fm: introducing video

as reported here a few days ago, Last.fm  hast now started to integrate video-content with their service. nothing groundbreaking like personalized video-channels for now though, but nifty quality clips for selected artists (check The Knife for some examples).

Last.fm: widgets deluxe

instead of the much anticipated video-upgrade, we just have received a very cool Last.fm flash-widget, which is embedding personalized radio-streams (“recently played”…), playlists & charts to any given website. check the sidebar of this page, press the “play”-button & start grooving (click here if you’re reading this post in your RSS-reader!) …stunning!

coming soon: Last.fm+video=MTV 2.0?

nothing about this on the official Last.fm-page yet (their blog is kind of hard to find), but Read/Write Web and Mashable both report that the music recommendation service & social network based on the Audioscrobbler technology is about to add video-support within this week! unlike YouTube, which is host to millions of low-res music-clips without [...]

MP3tunes.com: free & unlimited mp3-storage

as of today, MP3tunes.com has extended their free mp3-storage & -streaming product from 1gbyte to unlimited storage capacity & bandwidth. a locally installed application (available for windows, mac & linux) syncs the remote mp3-locker to the local media-library in both directions (this may take a very long time depending on your internet-connection, which typically is [...]

roundup for 2007-01-19 … Myspace / Music 2.0

Myspace users experienced a suspicious anomaly yesterday, as adding new (flash-based) widgets to Myspace profile-pages didn’t work for a few hours (existing widget-integrations have not been affected). while TechCrunch reports that Myspace – unofficially – claims a developer-bug to be the reason for this behaviour, skeptics might take this as proove that the free-ride for [...]
