Tagoo Finds MP3s for You to Stream or Download
Since I posted 35 Places To Download Free, Legal MP3s, I now fully understand just how much everyone on the damn internet wants free music. Well, here's another place to feed your addiction.
I wandered over to Tagoo expecting to find another piece of hastily assembled Google search garbage. Man, was I in for a surprise.
Tagoo finds direct links to MP3 files, and it lets you stream them or build playlists right on their site.
It'll suggest while you type: "prote," offered me Protest The Hero. Well done, Tagoo! When results appear, click the play button immediately to the right of the track to listen to it immediately. The track's artist, title, genre, bitrate, filesize, and length are all displayed.
It's even nice enough to warn you about potentially slow download sites, marking them with a red dot.
Pausing on the button will give you other options: choose a mood for the track, open it in the player in a new window, visit the page hosting the file, or add the song to a playlist.
You'll have to sign up to build playlists, but registration takes all of 5 seconds and the playlist feature is ridiculously cool. Add tracks to different playlists, and then view your lists to stream them or download the M3U. I love this feature. I can build playlists at home and then fire them up on my pc at work, or on my laptop wherever I've got wireless.
When Tagoo displays your search results, it'll also show you user-created playlists that contain similar tracks. Take a listen, and then tell Tagoo if you liked it or not.
This is an awesome search tool, and a great place to find music. Here's hoping it says around for us to enjoy!
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I'm no lawyer, so you'll need to find one to ask that question.

So... better than SeeqPod then? This sounds like it has more features, but I kind of like how you can build and share playlists in SeeqPod without creating an account.
I also like the fact that SeeqPod has an iPhone-friendly interface (which Tagoo doesn't seem to have yet).

While it's not Napster, I have a hard time believing this is legal. I found a very rare mix of one of my favorite songs and was able to download it with no questions asked. Yikes.
