- Project Playlist, is both a search engine and a playlist generator.
- Search for music that’s located on third party websites and then create playlists which can be embedded anywhere.
- They’ve had 822 million page views from 9.3 million uniques in September, which is an increase from last year’s 446 million and 5 million.
- Hmmm. Think we just wrote about a similar service about 30min ago regarding Muxtape, Grooveshark and OpenTape. Wonder who will get called by the RIAA frist (Muxtape already had to shut down last month)

- This week Grooveshark launched embeddable playlist widgets (pictured left) for users to post to over thirty different sites including MySpace, Blogs, etc.
- You can also email the digital mixtape to a friend or yourself in a one song format (pictured right) or as many as 2000.
- Very interesting to see another startup enter into the mixtape scene, as we have seen Muxtape shut down by the RIAA and OpenTape, FavTape, and Tumbltape copycats.
- In the past year, Groovershark has grown from 15K uniques a month to now 110K. How long before they will start showing up on the RIAA’s radar?

- MySpace has announced that Universal, Warner, Sony and EMI are all officially on board for the launch of the new Music.MySpace.com tonight at 9pm.
- The site will allows users to stream any song ever published for free, although with advertising integrated.
- MySpace users can create a playlist of 100 songs to be played on their page with easy sharing, download (Amazon) and ringtone capabilities (Jamster)
- Advertisers lined up for the launch to support the music streaming are McDonalds, Sony Pictures, Toyota and State Farm.
- Michael Arrington seems very excited about the new offering, but I think it’s another music site I won’t bother going on to. Here’s my reason’s why I think it will fail.
What do you think will happen?
