Is music an important part of your life? Do you love listening to music while working or discovering new music bands and artists?
YouTube has a huge database of music clips of all imaginable genres and types. It’s a great source of inspiration – we just need more tools to enjoy it.
The following two tools will add a lot of fun to your YouTube music-listening experience: they will let you endlessly listen to your favorite music genres.
Zebralizer
Zebralizer is YouTube-powered online tool that will play your music as long as you want it to. It won’t work on Internet Explorer, nor will it work on FireFox if you are on Mac. Google Chrome has been the best option to use the tool so far.
The site has a fun search option that will suggest to you results while you are typing:
Once the results are loaded, music will start playing immediately.
While listening, you can browse through the search results to add any clip to the play list. There’s also a “radio” button that will instantly create a play list from the similar music clips to the one currently running.
You can even load the lyrics next to the current song and start singing:
The built-in player controls let you play the music louder, jump to the next track, watch the video in the full-screen mode and shuffle your current play list.
Jukesy
Jukesy is a fun, yet not widely-known web-based app that allows you to enjoy an endless sit-back-and-listen YouTube experience.
To select the genre, you can browse through the vast selection of popular tags (anything from “art rock” to “hip hop” can be found there) or use the search option.
Once the genre is chosen, you can enjoy an endless video and music stream: Just keep the tab open and keep working or browsing the web – the music of your preferred genre will play until you stop it.
The built-in player controls let you easily adjust the volume, toggle the full-screen view or repeat your favorite song.
That’s a great music discovery tool: With its vast search capabilities, you are most likely to come across a new song or band that will become your favorite one. Besides, the tool offers plenty of information about genres and bands (powered by Last.fm).
You can continue searching for music, while the current clip keeps playing. You can add a new clip to the play list or queue video clips right from the search results (without interrupting your current music stream).
If you create an account, you can save your play lists as well.
Are there any other tools for the similar lean-back music experience? Please share them in the comments!

It is a very big day for Pandora as they are launching the new version of their site.
Some of our new features include:
Simplified Station Creation – Enhanced auto-complete choices and personalized suggestions make creating new stations and discovering new music or comedy more intuitive and personal.
Discovery of Music with Friends – Enhanced listener profiles and a new music feed offer a centralized place to find, like and comment on what friends and like-minded listeners are discovering and enjoying on Pandora. The music feed will roll out slowly over the course of the coming days. In addition to the prominent new “share” button, stations now have their own URLs, making it super easy for listeners to share favorite stations via Twitter, Facebook, or email.
Improved Control – Prominent and ubiquitous access to familiar player control buttons including Play, Pause, Thumbs-Up and Thumbs-Down icons helps listeners to easily personalize their music and comedy stations. A new shuffle feature also allows listeners to shuffle any collection of stations to add variety to their listening experience.
Enhanced Artist Information – An option to learn more about the music, find lyrics, read artists’ biographies and expand the album art size.
Unlimited listening – We’ve removed the 40 hours listening cap – you can now listen as much as you want for free.
The MIT Electronics Research Society has developed a very cool Tesla coil connected to a keyboard that can play jaunty tunes using pure, unadulterated energy.
It seems like there are an ever growing range of Free Music Downloading applications for iOS and the iPhone.
Free Music Downloader is yet another music downloading application that allows users to browser the most popular music sites on the web and then download mp3 files from those sites. Free Music Downloader allows users to download 10 tracks at the same time.
Im quite surprised that these applications are only hitting iOS at the moment, as they are very basic applications.
Want to listen to the music you have on Google Music? Well Google Music now has their own desktop player.
The player is a web version of the music service inside an app, you need to first login to your Google Account and then access the Google Music.
For me it seems like Google Music is a complete waste of time. You can simply sign up to Spotify and use their amazing player for your locally hosted music. I know that your music with Google Music is hosted in the cloud, which is great, but its just a very basic service and its only as good as the devices I can get the service on.
Anyways, if you want use Google music then check out the Google Music player (not official version).
