Playlist/music links
Some interesting links that I’ve come across recently:
AOL Music Now Web Services

(Courtesy of Zac) All Media Guide also has some cool playlist stuff going on:

Be sure to check out the demo of Tapestry here:

I really enjoyed wasting time playing with the “Build Descriptors” function. (in the right panel, click the little “Down Arrow” next to where it says “Descriptors”) This brings you to a tabbed interface that allows you to explore different types of music. I’d love to see these descriptors be influenced by (if not entirely based on) a community driven folksonomy. Or maybe have the descriptors be personalized somehow. As in: “These are my descriptors”…
Pretty neat though!
