imeem.com
I recently discovered imeem.com. Similar to youtube, but geared towards music. Acutally, I’m really surprised they can get away with their operation. Basically, people upload songs, which you can listen to with their flash player. I remember back when I first came across yahoo’s music service, I remember the faq saying they weren’t allowed to let you queue up whatever song you want, so I don’t know what’s changed since then.
The best and worst part of the site are the playlists. Being able to set up different playlists is a great idea, much more useful for songs than say, videos, but unfortunately it’s the part of the site that needs the most work. Adding a song to a playlist takes 1 too many clicks, and adding a song frome one playlist to another is even worse. Want to add multiple songs to a playlist? Forget about it.
The playlist editor was even worse. I suppose it’s nice if you only have 10 or 15 songs, then they all easily fit on the screen. But if you have a lot, moving them around can be a pain, as drag and drop is the only method to move things around. Anyway, here’s my first crack at a playlist:
