It is a music database created for music lovers. it is composed of thousand pages of artists filled with facts and trivia. these pages are contributed by their fans in various parts of the world, of which can also be edited by other fans. just try it and you’ll surely like it. thanks a lot!

http://www.seeqpod.com

http://www.Indie911.com

discogs.com– online music database which began as an electronic music site and has evolved to include all genres…

Check out http://www.nuTsie.com. The site allows you to listen to your iTunes library and playlists from any computer, share playlists with friends, and discover new music!

best streaming vid site

Check out http://www.sceneparty.com as well, thats fantastic

http://www.drownedinsound.com

http://www.deecoo.de

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned http://www.allmusic.com, an excellent music database. Though it is not user-updated like Discogs, artists are grouped by genre and sonic characteristics. Between those two sites, one can find almost anything.

I think you should n’t forget the austrians and germans most popular free music website:

http://www.neppstar.net/cms_neppstar/html/index.php

it works similar to the GNU GPL and uses the license of free contents.

have a lot of fun with this really free music

i think one of the best sites out there that reviews music is:
http://www.therockczar.com
It features numerous articles on great bands.
Underrated and worth a visit.

Wow unbeatable 100% bonus on deposits at Iomoio

Wow. Lots of good sites. I’ma check them all out.

specialized in electronic music: http://www.beatport.com, sinply the best one

check out Shepizzle an Indie music blog with reviews and music videos. Also, recommendations for similar bands.

My music blog, Largehearted Boy, lists ten free and legal daily music downloads every day:

http://blog.largeheartedboy.com/

AllMusic.com, as mentioned above, is an online music staple for information on all genres of music. I also found SoftShoe’s site a good music information resource: http://www.softshoe-slim.com/, and Music.com can also fill in some blanks.
There are also specialty sites I use often for information on specific music genres:

Progressive Rock: http://www.progarchives.com/ and http://www.progressiverock.com/
Melodic Rock: http://melodicrock.com/

Musicians resource full of FREE content including, Artist interviews, songwriting articles, tutorials and much more. Plus a great forum!

http://www.songstuff.com

a great site

I agree with Aaron, Allmusic.com has a great music database that is kept up by AMG. I use it all the time. Also http://www.pitchforkmedia.com is a great site for indie music news/reviews. Great list though!

Great List. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, you should add the site http://www.fabchannel.com to the Live Concert Portals section. It’s a great site with lots of concerts and a great interface.

Great site btw!

Check out http://www.epitunes.com/Events for live music listings. You can listen to the bands playing that night to see if they are worth checking out, very cool. Good music news section too.

you forgot http://criticalmetrics.com/

you forgot http://n90.mediamaster.com/player/mediamaster.jsp

you can upload all your music and play online.

A very cool feature is that you can add any of your music to a stream directory and then you can listen to it as a real http stream — instant shoutcast or icecast like station!

There’s http://www.bluebeat.com/, a high-quality online radio with 320bps mp3s. This really is digital radio done right.

http://www.streampad.com/ is a great way to play mp3 links that you find on a webpage. Just prepend http://www.streampad.com/play/page/ to add any page with mp3 links to you streampad account, or prepend http://flash.streampad.com/playerL.swf?list= to get an instant player. What’s cool about this site is that it also creates a dynamic RSS feed for the webpage, the feed is updated whenever new songs appear on the webpage. You can keep up to date and listen to new music either with your streampad homepage or through the feed reader of your choice.

It would be good to list sheet music sites for musicians too.

So where is eMusic.com on this list…

You forgot to include Grooveshark

http://www.musicisart.ws

I think http://www.staump.com should be in that list!

you forgot http://www.Moboogie.net

You should add gruvr local live music mapto your list of great music sites- it’s for live music.
It figures out where you are on the first click…

then lets you keep track of all your favorite bands so you know when they come to town without having to constantly check their pages…

Great stuff thanks for sharing.

Check out Bandsintown.com for concert discovery. It uses your favorite artists to recommend local shows that you might like and it also reminds you when you favorite artists are coming to town. Super simple concert discovery.

WOW!! thats a really big list! Thanks!

Sorry, the comment system on this blog doesn’t take the HTML that I added to my previous post. So here’s the raw bookmarklet, email me if you don’t know how to install.

javascript:s=document.body.insertBefore( document.createElement(‘iframe’), document.body.firstChild);s.id=’playpage’;s.language=’javascript’; s.width=’99%’;s.height=’300′; void(s.src= ‘http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mig/playlistbadge/20.swf?autoload=1& autoplay=1& playlist_url=’+location.href);

Not strictly a music site, but a way to enjoy music blogs better. When viewing a page with links to mp3 files, use this bookmarklet to create the Yahoo page player at the top of the page. It inserts the flash code directly into the page and will let you play all the songs on the page.

IYP

I call it IYP for Insert Yahoo Player, here it is as a link, drag it into your Firefox bookmark bar or save as favorite in IE:

IYP

Here’s a screen shot, click on if for full view:

have you checked out Streampad yet (comment 32)?
it really is very good, and will cache feed items for any mp3 site that you give it.

you gotta try grooveshark, i’ll send you an invite.
you can upload all your local mp3′s via a non-obtrusive mini-server and play them anywhere from your webpage.

email me and i’ll send the invite

IYP = browser enhancement, bookmarklet, or widget

Simplify Media, http://simplifymedia.com/, is personal web music server that allows you to serve your mp3s directly from your computer over the internet, like Grooveshark. It allows you to play your music collection from any computer using plugins for iTunes and Winamp.

Orb, like Simplify Media and Grooveshark, is another personal web music server. It’s a media server that also supports videos and images and can even feed you live TV stations. In addition, it can access any folder and file that you configure it for making it a web document server.

Oboe is a service from http://mp3tunes.com/ that uploads your mp3′s to their server and allows you to play your music from there. You get unlimited storage, but can only upload 10MB per file if you don’t have a paid account. Paid subscriptions ($40/yr) allow you to upload any size file and also backs up your paid DRM Itunes files. A neat feature of Oboe is Sideload, an extension that allows you to store any mp3 that you find on the web. It’s called Sideload because Mp3tunes grabs the file directly without having to go through your computer. This is a great way to squirrel away music that you run across for later listening.

more sites:

http://community.loudcity.com/ – social music sites with real stream broadcasting. You can pay to have your own stream, or just join groups and listen to other people’s stream broadcasts.
(Note that MediaMaster has free broadcast streams.)

http://www.jamglue.com/ – online mixing. Create your own tracks and mixes, or remix others.
Features a rich Flash mixing console (e.g. http://www.jamglue.com/mixes/1053377-Make-Me-Better-Remix/remix)

http://www.uplayme.com/
quote: “uPlayMe is a service allowing people to find new music and meet new people. We do this by keeping track of the music you listen to on your computer, and sending that info to our mothership. There we do fancy math to find out other users who love the same music you love. We tell you about these other users, and you can check out what they are listening to (and hopefully find something new), and you can send them a message.
uPlayMe also allows you to post the music you play on your social network profile or blog. This way friends can see what you play and even hear samples.”

http://www.goombah.com/
quote: It scans your iTunes library, finds people that like your style, and makes recommendations from their collections.

http://www.ijigg.com/
Social music site, upload songs, create playlists, widgets for individual songs and playlists.

http://www.deezer.com/en/

A Flash site where you can listen to wide selection of popular music, create playlists and share them with widgets. Has excellent file uploading capabilities.

A great feature of MediaMaster that you did not mention is the free streams that it provides. These are real Icecast or Shoutcast type streams, and lets the user become a real web DJ. You get a stream for your Radio playlist and one for your most recently played songs, but in addition every playlist that you create has a stream.
