Looking for another way to discover new music online? Then you may want to give Songspin.FM a try. This online streaming service contains a number of genre-specific stations with a clean and simple design that is easy to use. Listeners click can click through the tracks (from SoundCloud), and not only hear the songs, but also read a brief bio on the artist, see tour info, and view artist photos. In addition, the service is integrated with Facebook and listeners and share the music and their thoughts about the music with friends. In addition to streaming, songs can also be downloaded for a fee (via Amazon.com is one option) or for free or even as a ringtone. One thing that I like about the site is the music selection is not as “mainstream” as some of its competitors. For instance, on the Emerging station, I listened to James Blake, Michael Kiwanuka, Velociraptor and TV Girl, while on the Electronic station, I listened to Starf^*ker, Yacht, Digitalism and How to Destroy Angels. This supports the site’s premise that the data that is compiled is used to ensure that the stations are always “updated with the best new tracks.” The site has a way to go, but I see a lot of promise. Take a listen for yourself.
