Free Music Online.

This blogpost is mainly to discuss the availability of free music on the web and how easily accessible it is for your listening pleasure. There are many places online that has music that's ready to be streamed on to your computer, a small list of these sites are; youtube, Myspace, Podcasts.

These are all viable ways to find music that you like and listen to. However there are other alternatives as well. The one I'd like to share today is Musicovery.
This website is basically a radio where you can choose to play the sort of music you like. You select the genre's of music you'd like and what tempo and mood your interested in then it will set up a play list for you. This play list is able to be manipulated and will start streaming the songs onto your computer and they will start to play. Which a broadband connection there should be no lag or waiting for downloads.
The reason I find this website really cool is the way you can listen to a spectrum of music that you wouldn't normally ever hear. You cant download the songs so nothing is taken away from the artists. If anything its free advertising. The idea of being able to listen to music where anywhere that there is internet is a pretty cool in my opinion.

I know of other sites that do exactly the same thing as Musicovery however most of them are not available to be used from a New Zealand IP address. When I rediscover them online I'll edit this post to show them.
