An Internet Jukebox

Pandora is one type of User Controlled Content. Beyond that, there is also the really refined sites. One of this is Project Playlist.

This site, which is facing legal action from the RIAA, allows users to create and save playlists. Then you can post these on your website, myspace page of blog of choice. You can change the settings such as color, whether its random or not, or whether its starts immediately on page load or not.

How these playlists work is they aggregate links to songs posted and hosted on web sites. The songs themselves are not stored by Project Playlist. So, there are times when you try to find something that may be a little on the obscure side and have no luck. Well, no one has it hosted anywhere. Surprisingly, I can find Command Performance recordings somewhere. Weird!
