Musicovery

Music Discovery = Musicovery.

Musicovery is a beautiful WebRadio that allows you to search for music based on a host of parameters -

Your Mood- Dark to Positive and Calm to Energetic
The Genre- Rock, metal, Pop, Blues, Jazz and many more
The Age- 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s etc.
The Popularity- Hit/Non-Hit/Discovery

It also has a “Dance” tab, which I have not used and cannot comment upon.
Here is screen shot of the dashboard.


To start the Musicovery radio just, you just need to click somewhere inside the matrix. Calm – energetic and dark – positive are continuums and each point in the matrix corresponds to a specific mood profile.

Interested in music from particular genres only? Tick the checkboxes of the genres you want to listen to. Similiarly, select whether you want to limit yourself to commercial hits or wish to explore even the non-hits and possibly discover completely untasted bands.

Feeling nostalgic about a particular era of sound? Click somewhere on the timeline to listen to music from that time.

Musicovery can be listened to for free without any need to sign-up or register for anything. The “free” lo-fi streaming is good only if you are not too fussy about the quality of music your speakers produce. Musicovery lo-fi is very much like listening to music via a little portable radio. I have absolutely no complaints about this.

On the other hand if you are willing to shell out $2.10 a month, you can listen to Musicovery music streaming library for as much as you want and at the best quality level possible.

A Screenshot of the playing area

You will need a flash enabled browser to see the playing area. This area gives the artist and track details, album art, allows you to pause/resume playing, allows you to ask for more songs from similar artists and also shows the next few songs to be played connected by a relationship thread.

You can use the mouse to pull the thread around to reveal more tracks.

You can choose to play any of the tracks you see. Though, doing so could potentially change the collection of tracks you see.

Finally, the screenshot of the whole browser screen. Free musicovery is supported by Google ads.

The bottomline is that musicovery is an amazing WebRadio with a lot of user-friendly features. Use it and do let me know if I’ve missed any more features worth mentioning. Drop in a comment with your reactions :)

P.S. If you do not like the way this post is displayed in your browser and know how to fix it, help me.
