Music Playlists

Webjay.org, a new site, helps uncover links to songs by making it easy for users to create and share playlists of songs on the Web. When you click on a playlist, the site assembles the links into a seamless radio show that you can listen to without any messy downloading. Think of it as a mix tape you can share and change at will.

Webjay already features several thousand playlists linking to more than 30,000 tracks, according to the site’s founder, Lucas Gonze, a programmer in Brooklyn. ‘The point is to find cool unknown songs and to encourage people to share what they find,’ he said. The playlists are varied and idiosyncratic, ranging from old radio shows and techno music to ‘Society 78’s from Stalin-era U.S.S.R.'” — New York Times
