    Basically you type in the name of an artist or song title and it starts playing similar style music. You can vote on whether you like the song or not and it will adjust its playlist accordingly. Streams at 128kbps

    This is very similar to the last.fm radio player thingy but this seems to work better and give a more diverse choice of music. Also if you're restricted by firewall (college) last.fm player doesn't work. This does :D:D:D

    damn i skipped too much within the hour - now i have to sit back and enjoy the music :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,707 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Thanks, JoeyD, well done! Hehe, i started off with Atheist, and it brought me to Dismember.

    I also started with Metallica, which took a weird combination of changes from Aerosmith and Skid Row, right to Death and Mayhem and back to metallica again! Its pretty damn handy though. Must test it in the long run.

    Has anyone registered to this website? Is there a charge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,483 ✭✭✭Töpher


    No charge. It's fatastic!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,769 ✭✭✭eljono


    Sweet, thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 178 ✭✭rahim


    I've been looking for something like this for years. Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭Cianan2


    Does it just continue playing different bands/songs, or do you have to press play each time?

    This is really cool, btw!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    It keeps on playing.
    It's great that you can skip songs you dont like, took me a while to figure that.

    Ok this seems to be proving pretty popular. Just in case you havn't tried the last.fm player, heres a link: http://www.last.fm/radio/

    Also you'll find that neither of these play classical music, i don't think. I know this is the Rock/Metal board, but some people have varied tastes. This is a good place for classical - http://kuatfm.org/classical.cfm

    Altho this site is in Russian, its pretty easy to guess how to navigate it. It has free mp3, among other things...
    <snip>



    There is no such thing as free mp3. In this case, it's the bands who are getting screwed here. Russian sites offereing free mp3 files are in breach of the copyright laws of this country, and as a result, it is an offence to download them here. Do not link to one again.

    Is there anything the Internet cant do? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 frux


    Absolutely fantastic!!! It is really great to discover new stuff! Thanks for the link. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 952 ✭✭✭Prezatch


    <snip>

    That stuff is far from legal. Russia frequently doesn't give a **** for copyright law, which is why those sites exist, but downloading to here is a breach of copyright law in this country and also thieves from the bands, so don't link to any more.

    Missed this thread the first time, but I'm fortunate for the bump (site's great!)

    excellent thanks for the link.

    Attention please.

    Those Russian mp3 sites are not legal. They operate outside of international copyright law. Downloading the files here, however, is illegal and in breach of Irish copyright law. Next link to a Russian mp3 site earns a permanent ban.

    More to the point, the people who are really getting screwed are the bands.

    While the legality of streaming services such as Pandora is often questionable, there is no doubt that anywhere offering a full download of recently released copyrighted material is illegal and any more links to that ****e on this site will be met with a swift ban.
