Musicovery - a visual radio


Musicovery
Building on Frederic Vavrille's Liveplasm site (a visual search engine he created 3 years ago), Mr. Vavrille has created a visually-entertaining web radio where listeners select music from a mood-energy matrix or from a genre selection box. Manuel Lima states that Mr. Vavrille combined sound from Pandora and Last.FM with Liveplasm to create a dynamic mind-map of related music. He calls it Musicovery

Some have reported that it doesn't work quite right - songs won't stop and the classification needs work. But I think it's a whole lot of fun! And, you have to admit it's a great looking piece of human-computer engineering.

I like this one a lot! Much more fun and interactive than Pandora, with fewer restrictions. I love the "Discovery" listening option. Very cool. I think I'll be listening to this a lot in the future. May have to opt in for the hi-fi option, though. Still... One of the better music sites I've seen.
