Interesting new directory of “music 2.0” services, which includes the following useful categorization:
- Music Services – places like iTunes and Rhapsody where you can purchase or subscribe to music
- Music Discovery – places that help you find music – these fall generally into 3 subcategories:
- Social – wisdom of the crowds sites like last.fm, iLike. Goombah and Qloud
- Content-based – recommendations based on the music content – Pandora, SoundFlavor, MusicIP
- Expert based – Music recommendations from people – music blogs, irateradio.com
- Music Experience Augmentation – sites to make your music listening experience more enjoyable – music dashboards like sleevenotez or Snapp Radio
- Playlist Sharing – this includes playlisting sites like MusicMobs, fiql and Webjay
- Music Metadata – add to the data surrounding the music – MusicBrainz, All Music Guide, Gracenote
The content hasn’t been fleshed out on a lot of those pages, but still it’s a good start and one to watch.
