Songza Is Your Own Personal Jukebox
“Yesterday, while we were at the club, that new popular song came on…”
“What song?”
“You know… the one by that singer that everyone likes now.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Sure you do. You’d know it if you heard it.”
“Okay, so let’s hear it.”
“Uh…”
Whether you're satisfying a random Cat Power craving or wanting to reminisce with some classic Janet Jackson, Songza provides your musical needs for free.
Created by Chicagoans Aza Raskin and Scott Robbin, Songza is a free Internet jukebox with over 28 million songs, from studio recordings to live performances, from classic originals to rare covers. You can search by title or artist, and you'll receive a list of 50 options that match your request. Play your pick immediately, or build a playlist that you can save and come back to. While the song is playing, you can rate the recording, visit the artist's webpage, switch to the music video (via YouTube), get information on how to purchase the track, and even share it with friends via e-mail, HTML, or Twitter.
Again, all this is for free. You don't have to register or purchase anything if you don't want to. All the licenses have been paid for, and the artists are paid (by Songza) in proportion to the number of times their songs are played. It's like your own customizable radio.
Now you can listen to all the Chicago blues, Chicago house, or just plain Chicago that you want.
And for all things music, don't forget to check out b5media's very own Music channel.
