Musicovery visualizes genres
December 30th, 2006
UK based Musicovery is a music discovery service not too different from Pandora. Instead of choosing specific bands, albums, or songs, you simply click on a variety of sliders and buttons, including the ability to hone in on specific genres.
Currently, you’re able to choose a genre, date, mood, or dance tempo for your stream. Musicovery then displays a colorful map of your personalized song playlist. You can skip around the playlist and choose a specific song to play. However, just like Pandora, there isn’t a way to play a specific song, nor is there a way to systematically go back to songs that were played.
Overall, I like how Musicovery lays out all the songs in a virtual playlist map. It allows you to easily see at a glance the energy level and genre of each song being played. However, I still prefer Pandora’s method of choosing genres based on specific artists and songs.
