I’m telling you.. the Net is surprising me with good services every day. This one is practically a joy for all kind music fans.

Finetune is all about good music. It’s a web based service that lets you create playlists that you like, listen to them online and share it with your friends. You can choose from 2 million sound tracks that already in Finetune library. I’m pretty sure that there is no change you won’t find something that you like in a big music collection like that. When you create a playlist, you will listen to full songs - FREE! (But, you can add to playlist only 3 songs per one artist)

What is it you’d say we do here?

* Type an artist’s name, we create a playlist of related songs for you to listen to.
* Create your own playlist! You hand pick each song or let us auto-complete with our recommendation technology.
* Explore the finetune community - browse artists, users, playlists and more.
* Listen to professionally managed playlists spanning todays most popular terrestrial radio formats.
* Embed your playlist in your blog or MySpace page.

Did we mention we like music? We’ve got more then you could ever listen to… but give it a shot

* 2 Million songs and growing
* All the major labels, updated daily
* Extensive metadata; images, album reviews, etc
* 350 distinct music categories (and growing!)
* 400 professionally programmed playlists, matching and exceeding terrestrial radio formats
* Baroque to Brit-Pop, Ragtime to Rap, African to Zydeco and everything in between!
* Our categories don’t match your view?? That’s fine… just tag stuff the way you’d like to see it! It’s a win/win

recommendation engine
So you’re listening to John Coltrane… What should play next?

Sounds like a simple enough question to answer… until you ask a couple people and get wildly different answers. So how do we do it? Well its sortof a secret. Okay we can tell you a little… I guess
Ingredients

* 7 years of accumulated listener data
* Almost 100 Million listener hours
* 13,000 user created playlists
* a pinch of salt to taste

As you can see this didn’t just happen over-night… We’ve been collecting data about music for a long time. So will you get the perfect playlist every time? Nope, and that is because music is super subjective. Did you know Elvis Costello released a classical album? That’ll spice up your classic new-wave artists playlist! We can mine relationships out of all this collected data and build you an interesting playlist.
From there you can take over and fine tune it to your hearts content… And that is really the point of the whole thing.
