thesixtyone.com – not just the same old music discovery service

thesixtyone is a music discovery game that rewards those who help others listen to good new music.

If you’ve ever seen digg.com, this is essentially a music equivalent. Artists upload music, listeners vote, and gradually songs make their way up the chart. Very Web 2.0 (in a good way).

I’m sure there are others (pandora.com was pretty good) but I’m quite impressed with the quality of music I’ve listened to so far on thesixtyone. The interface is unintrusive and other than a few initial moments of downtime the site has been rock steady.

I wonder if they have (or are planning) an API? Would make a pretty nice addition to iGoogle!
