Streaming Music Services Worth Using

Where do you head when you want to listen to music online without having to download anything or more the point pay for music. Either you head to a bittorrent site (which we will discuss later) or you head to a music streaming service.

Here is a list of the top music streaming services according to Compete. Today we are going to talk about a few of these services and what they can offer you.

Imeem – A streaming service that is based around a social network in the same way as Myspace. Although to me it seems that Myspace has every band in the world online, I still find it hard to believe that Imeem which is growing still gets those sort of numbers. Imeem is completely free to use and you just search for your favourite artist and then you are able to stream certain music direct from their profiles. The problem is that the music is controlled by the artist and normally your favourite tracks wont be online.

Seeqpod – This has to be my favourite streaming music service. Seeqpod is basically the Google of music search engines. Seeqpod searches through the world of mp3s and lets you stream them by using their service. Some tracks are sometimes damaged, but they seem to be improving this service over time. Simply type in the artist name or track title and let Seeqpod do the searching for you. Songza is also on the list of top streaming services, but they are using the Seeqpod technology, so please head over to the original site!

Deezer – Deezer is a french based music streaming site that is similar to Seeqpod except they are total legitimate and they pay royalties from streams. Deezer has just signed a deal with Universal publishing, so you will be able to find some of your favourite artists, but there are still a lot missing. Deezer is also trying to build a community around their streaming product, with music news and basic social networking options. Deezer is one service to keep your eye on in the future!
