Soundpedia
Description
Soundpedia is a Singapore-based internet radio and music community website, founded in 2006. It is an extremely fast growing social music platform with over 1 million active users.
Using its own advanced technology, Soundpedia recommendations are based on a user voting system and play counts. Users are allowed to create playlists as they browse or while sampling music; they can then either stream their own unique "radio stations" to their own computer or web enabled mobile device. While the user streams, information is transferred to Soundpedia's database that keeps track of song play and other site usage stats. Soundpedia currently offers a browser based music player, as well as Desktop Gadgets for several OS platforms. The statisical data is displayed on the Artist and Album pages. The site offers social networking features on par with similar sites. Users can share their playlists with others, or browse and listen to other users' playlists.
Users can create custom radio stations and playlists from any of the audio tracks in Soundpedia's music library, and are able to listen to individual tracks on demand, but can not download tracks unless the rightsholder has previously authorized it. Registration is required to acquire a profile but is not necessary to view any part of the site or to listen to radio stations.
