Songza.com - Internet Jukebox and Music Search Engine

Songza is a brand new web jukebox and music search engine. Enter the name of a band or song title and a list of related songs comes up. You can scan the list to find something you want to listen to, and then you have several options available to you. Clicking on your chosen song, a menu comes up that allows you to either play that song, rate if it's a good or bad recording, add it to your play list, or share it by sending the song to a friend, linking to that song, embedding it on your site, or watching the YouTube video of it. As you are making new searches, the song you have been listening to continues to play uninterrupted at the bottom of the page. If you don't select another song to play before that song is over, it'll go straight to playing the list of songs you've collected on the side. Within your play list, you can drag and drop songs to determine their order.

There are short cuts to playing the songs on the site as well, such as hitting the space bar to pause or play the current song and using the arrow keys to scroll through your play list to the next song you want to hear. You can also check out the discography of the song you are currently listening to, or you can purchase it, all through Google links. Anytime you want to see the song's YouTube video or check out the track's discography, the information comes up in a new window so as not to interrupt your listening experience. If you want to create a play list to easily enjoy while surfing the web, or you want to check out different tracks from various artists without having to bring up more complicated sites that only let you listen to 30 second clips of the songs, Songza will be a great tool for you.

"Songza lets you listen to any song or band."

It's incredibly easy to use and has a pretty decent selection of songs by various artists from all different types of genres available. Every song or artist I searched for had some sort of result. This is also an easy way for people to find mp3s that they want to add to their facebook applications and other music sharing sites. Making a play list without any effort and being able to listen to songs all the way through are definitely key components to their site. With a few more options for actions, this site could be a definite competitor within the music discovery and online jukebox realm.

What other features will they be adding? Will the site become more personalized with the ability to save play lists and check out recommendations from others with similar songs saved? What do the ratings go towards in terms of song quality and will the song titles be edited so that it's easier to know what you are actually listening to? Will artists eventually get more information to add to their page for when their name is searched?
