MixTape.me Logo There was a time when listening to songs online would require registration and sometimes even our credit card information and most often than not if one is using the free version of the music service then the songs you could listen to were limited per month.

Times have changed now, I can count at least 10 music services which offer free unlimited music pleasure and few of them do not even require you to register to listen to free music.

With so many options it boils down to which service offers options and features which you like the most.

MixTape.me is one such service which offers free music with a different approach.

First off you don’t have to register to listen to music. You can simply browse through the database by searching for your favorite artist or song. If that’s too much work then simply browse through existing playlists created by the members and start listening to songs.

Creating your own playlist is as simple as it can get. Just drag and drop songs on “Quick Playlist” area or the existing playlists.

Once you create your playlist you can effortlessly share it on the internet by embedding it on the webpage, sharing the URL or just by e-mail. I created a test playlist for this review and I’ve added the playlist below using the embedded feature.

MixTape.me does a good job of pulling in information about the song that is being currently played. “LINER NOTES:” panel on the bottom right side of the window shows information like Playlist Info, Artist Bio, Lyrics, Video, etc.. all of this information is pulled in from different sites like Last.fm, Youtube, LyricsWiki, etc..

The site also links to Amazon, so, you can buy any song you like on MixTape.me.

Overall it’s a good site to listen to some great music instantly, but it is certainly not a threat to any of the existing music services and I don’t think that was the intention behind it.

Watch the video below to see the service in action or visit MixTape.me to experience it first hand.
