There are those of us old enough to remember a time when music was sold mainly in album form, and your media choices were limited to vinyl or cassette. When you wanted your friends to hear something new you'd gotten, you either went over to your friend's house with albums in tow or held a phone up to your speakers. That was the original peer-to-peer music sharing.
In this age of new media and social networking, we download our music and [...]

Warner Bros. has announced that it will now be offering its entire music and video catalog for free streaming on the social music site imeem.This is very interesting news considering the fact that, just two short months ago, Warner had announced that it was suing imeem, a site that allows its users to share music playlists and video clips.
In the suit, Warner accused imeem of building a user base by capitalizing on the “illegal use of free music,” when actually, [...]

iLike is now the fastest growing music service on the web, with 300,000 new users signing up every day, according to a recent press release from the company.

There are enough social music networks on the internet now, that anyone should be able to find one that best fits their interests and needs. uPlayMe is one example of such a network, but this one has a few differences that may give it an edge over the others that simply appear to be last.fm clones. uPlayMe even attempts to stand out with a funny commercial that I am not quite sure gets the point across about how the service works, [...]

Spring is the season of rebirth and revival, which many companies with homes on the Internet have taken to heart. One such website, which just a day or two ago reemerged onto the scene with a fresh coat of paint, is Technorati, a well kept index of blogs, videos, and music. And I must say, the new incarnation is far more attractive.
There’s nothing miraculous about Technorati. The site tracks what’s new and what’s popular in Web 2.0, and sorts it [...]

Smell that? That’s a rumor. One involving Facebook and a supposed music service the company will announce later this month. What do you think? Plausible? Or unlikely?
There may a few grains of truth in what some forecasters are predicting. If you look at what MySpace has done to organize a music site of its own, it makes absolute sense for Facebook to desire something of the same vein for itself. Facebook lacks a place of its own to [...]
