Zukool.com - Music Recommendation

There’s a lot of music out there-- tons of songs, oodles of beats, masses of rhythms that while floating around the net, in independent record stores and radio waves, many of us still have never gotten the chance to listen to any of it. Fact is, there’s almost too much to choose from; it’s hard to know even where to start. So the question of what to listen to becomes a question of resources and knowledge. If you’re not a music junky, you probably don’t know where to look. Enter Zukool. Zukool is a music recommendation site. It makes finding music a whole lot easier. How it works: first perform a search by artist, album or song. Next add the songs you like to your songlist (you can preview them beforehand too). Finally, fill out the recommendation box, marking down either similar artists, styles, or variety. Zukool will pull up artists and music from there. Alternately, once you’ve added some songs to your playlist, you can simply click the recommend icon. Zukool also provides links to seller sites so you can purchase your newly found favorite songs. It’s that easy.

“Our smart taste agents can search through large music libraries to provide automatic, proactive, taste-specific music recommendations that can cross musical genres and artists, liberating the user from tedious search and taking music exploration and discovery to another, very exciting level.
At the moment you can use ZuKool Music to search for music, get music recommendations, listen to clips, quickly access seller sites, and organize your playlists.
