Mixturtle >> Music Search Engine

æ Z Z Z Z ▌

Did you get the news? A new "Music Search Engine" has been launched namely Mixturtle !! Checkout what the turtle is having in his mouth :)

MixTurtle ( The music search engine) which allows you to search for and create playlists with speed. When searching for an artist you'd like to hear, a drop-down list appears displaying an alphabetical listing of the artists available according to what you've entered so far and the artists alphabetically surrounding them. The results appear as a list of that artist's tracks in bold font. Clicking on a track will start to play what is there, displaying how many of that track were found in case one source requires a password or isn't exactly what you're looking for. If you've created an account, you can then add your desired tracks to a playlist for easy reference and playback. You can easily share any playlist with the direct link they provide you straight to the songs you've selected. So if you want to quickly create and share lists of songs with your friends, MixTurtle could be your application of choice. (source : KillerStatups )

A limitation to that is nothing much you will find if you are searching for hindi songs as I tried :(

If you are searching for more music there are some established music search sites ( mostly mp3's) like blinkx , SkreemR , MP3Realm, FindSounds ( all sounds, an intersting one !)

Go bingooo
