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.

The service is currently in beta so do expect to see errors or some functionality not workings as expected. In case you see something not working send an e-mail to support@mixtape.me to help the team fix it.

I sometimes skip my favorite songs and listen to others that’s because I might not be in the right mood. So the best way to listen to music is based on moods like Happy, Sad, Love, Hate, Angry, Calm, Confused, etc..

We are not going to discuss much on this controversial issue. Instead we are going to focus our attention on a service that offers you to listen to free music online, download music to your computer and create your favorite playlists. The service is called as We7. A UK based company which started with 30 tracks in 2007 and now has over 170,000 subscribers and 4 million downloads.

Let’s get into what the site talks about the service it offers:

We7 is an outstanding new music destination to listen, share and discover music for FREE, legally and safely. You choose the music you want to hear and play full tracks and albums online, on-demand at anytime. We also offer you the ability to buy the music you love in high quality MP3 downloads which you can play on iPods and most other digital players.

We7 provides a simple tariff

If we look at the scenario and the business model everyone is a winner:

The site might not be studded with the popular stars but there’s a great variety of great music. In no time I have become a big fan of this platform and have discovered artists which otherwise I would have missed.

If that was not enough, the site provides widgets for the bloggers to put on their site and pimp the site up for the readers of the blog. This gives great advantage to all the parties involved.
