Discover Musicovery
Usually it’s the teens in our library who help me keep up with all the new or “it” websites but this time, it was actually my husband who found this little gem.
Musicovery is an interactive radio website that allows you to choose music according to your mood. You can then narrow your search by music decade or music type. Your search results show up as a kind of funky selection web, then you can choose what song you want to listen to from there. It doesn’t stop there. Like LastFM, it also provides additional suggestions according to the artist being played. Phew. It’s almost exhausting trying to make you’re way through all the choices but really great for those days when you just don’t know what to listen to, not to mention a wonderful snazzy website to show teens as a way to introduce them to new music.

It’s not too bad for audiophiles either. I have a hard time maintaining my thirst for music, since I listen to a broad range of genres. This is a nice toy in my ebox of goodies. I like your idea for using it as a tool for music advisory. I plan to add it to our teen links.
Actually, Stephanie just put me on to another really cool music/radio site called MeeMix http://www.meemix.com/ . I’m still checking it out but it looks really neat, create a profile, create your own radio station…sweet!
