PC Magazine's 12 Favorite Music Sites
pcmag.com — These days, a good radio station is hard to come by and CDs are $20 a pop. So, what's a music lover to do? Turn to the Internet, of course, where you can find music-streaming services that are not only free and legal (like all radio) but customizable.

- Scranklin, on 07/01/2008, -6/+50Dugg for mentioning TheSixtyOne, truly one of the greatest music sites ever!
- btgoss, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5I don't understand the game at all, but the SixtyOne is really very good. But only if you actually like music.
If you like pop/rap/mainstream commercial crap, aside from not actually liking music, you might not find the SixtyOne as much fun. - feliks2, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Looks interesting, I just created an account. Last.fm is still amazing for finding and keeping track of music though.
- worldruler, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Ay Last.FM is definitely the way to go, especially now that Pandora has so many restrictions, there are a couple of others out there that the list missed though, perhaps someone could come up with a top 25!
- HypocriteDigg, on 07/01/2008, -5/+1Wow, just checked out 61 and I won't be using it on the UI alone! You diggiots are WAY overhyping that place. Try Virb.com
- pr0t0, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I had not heard of Jango before, but it's pretty cool. It's what I wanted Pandora to be when it first came out: mostly music from the bands I prefer, with some new stuff thrown in every once in a while. Dugg.
- btgoss, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5I don't understand the game at all, but the SixtyOne is really very good. But only if you actually like music.
- hmunkey, on 07/01/2008, -5/+30TheSixtyOne is so amazing. I'm new to it, but I'm loving just listening to music and playing around. It's a game, a music center, everything in one.
- itsfullofstars, on 07/01/2008, -3/+9Thank god for the internet. Terrestrial radio stations (TV too) are utter crap and like to force feed us Britney Spears types. That bitch could never sing. I digress... Competition really does bring innovation. This is definitely a good change of the status quo for everyone. I hope all of them succeed.
Who Moved My Cheese? - Carpex, on 07/01/2008, -1/+30How is myspace still making those top lists?
Here's the full list:
Jango
TheSixtyOne
Musicovery
BoomShuffle
finetune
last.fm
SkreemR
Songza
Pandora
Slacker
MySpace
imeem- vinceislegend, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19Because 99% of musicians everywhere have their music on MySpace. See if you can think of 10 bands worth hearing who don't have one.
The site's ***** for social networking if you ask me, but as far as music goes, you can't deny it.- Carpex, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11Myspace is littered with spam, ads and uglyness. I don't think I've ever seen a page on myspace that looks half decent.
- cannarymburns, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1thats actually because that is the reason myspace was created. it was to get small bands a place to get some publicity. how it turned into a teen airhead lounge, well i know how, they wanted ad money...
- kdogg73, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3somafm.com people
- btgoss, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3MySpace is still a good place to hear music from new acts after you have found them somewhere else, so it still has that as it's value. As for being the place to actually find that music, it's not so good.
- vinceislegend, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19Because 99% of musicians everywhere have their music on MySpace. See if you can think of 10 bands worth hearing who don't have one.
- ChrisWexler, on 07/01/2008, -8/+11I'm here becasue I'm totally hooked on TheSixtyOne.com -- social gaming and new music discovery? Totally addicting...
- BetterOffEd, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Either you're spam, or you think/type like spam.
(Please forgive me if the latter is indeed the case.)
- BetterOffEd, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Either you're spam, or you think/type like spam.
- WhiteHowler, on 07/01/2008, -3/+18I don't really buy CD's anymore, but between Pandora and (especially) TheSixtyOne, I've bought five albums in the last couple of months from bands I never would have heard otherwise. It's awesome to be able to support indie artists and not huge record companies.
- BetterOffEd, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Hahaha... You're spam. ;-)
Who the hell really says "I don't really buy CD's anymore, BUT...." ? - BetterOffEd, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2To whomever dugg me down, please check his profile: Only 3 comments; 3 different stories; all pumping up "TheSixtyOne"
- BetterOffEd, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Hahaha... You're spam. ;-)
- yohnstoppable, on 07/01/2008, -21/+3omg gais, I luv thesixtyone. Let's all digg and spam this, because our overlords told us to.
Myspace is on the list, which more than cancels out thesixtyone. Buried- timyjl, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Ha! myspace? ell oh ell
- Siliticx, on 07/01/2008, -6/+15TheSixtyOne is pure awesome.
- Doomsan, on 07/01/2008, -5/+13Bumped!
- vinceislegend, on 07/01/2008, -5/+15Dugg for thesixtyone.
- timyjl, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2fanboi
- sf49rox, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2Seriously, what is up with all these thesixtyone fanboys making these comments
- timyjl, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2yah! they're everywhere ^^
- timyjl, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2fanboi
- theprince, on 07/01/2008, -1/+121. TheSixtyOne
2. Pandora
3. Songza
4. Seeqpod. - passiveconsumer, on 07/01/2008, -3/+13OHHH *****!....yep. Bump-er, Dugg for thesixtyone.
- Weip, on 07/01/2008, -4/+12I would max bump this story if i could!
T61 for sure!- Simonft, on 07/01/2008, -1/+5HOOOLLLLLY SHIIIIIT!
- DanielWashburn, on 07/01/2008, -2/+11I've discovered so much music on thesixtyone, a lot of the songs are free to download right from the site too.
Free Music FTW!!! - gooberdude, on 07/01/2008, -3/+11Attention diggers who sign up to thesixtyone today: Could 10,000 of you stay logged in all day? Then we can all finally get the mosh pit achievement haha :)
- aglio, on 07/01/2008, -6/+7gotta say last.fm is the best, thesixtyone is awesome too
- spoogieking012, on 07/01/2008, -4/+21ZOMG THE SIXTY ONE!!!
jees people. yeah site is cool and all, but does every single comment need to say so? that what the thumb up is for- GenerousLinus, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5Yeah, I can't tell if the site is just really good or if we're being gang banged by spammers.
- yohnstoppable, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8Both. The admin likes linking the digg articles on there. I got buried pretty bad for commenting on it here.
I do think thesixtyone is awesome, but some of the obvious spam comments are pretty lame. - BetterOffEd, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Yeah—my ass hurts after all of this "thesixtyone" talk.
- yohnstoppable, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8Both. The admin likes linking the digg articles on there. I got buried pretty bad for commenting on it here.
- iticu, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2In theory, no. In practice there's not much else to say about the story.
- GenerousLinus, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5Yeah, I can't tell if the site is just really good or if we're being gang banged by spammers.
- kiensoy, on 07/01/2008, -0/+4No deezer? booo
- smmakira, on 07/01/2008, -7/+3Dugg for thesixtyone! This site is awesome!
- smmakira, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2well...it is...
- timothycrash01, on 07/01/2008, -2/+23Uh oh - The Sixty One spammers are in full force. Doesn't help that the site is linking to this Digg page from their home page once you log in
Funny enough, underneath their link, it also has a warning not to spam the Digg comments. Actually, it says this: "Note: over-zealous comments could get the story buried."- Tokyosexwhale, on 07/01/2008, -2/+4Yes, people from the sixty one are pretty passionate about it (I am one of them) and we're always trying to get more exposure (more people means more music, more points, etc.) but based on my experience, they're a pretty ok group. Sure a few might leave some stupid comments but come on...90% of digg comments are total ***** anyway.
- CryTekEmployee, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/
- GPSCenter, on 07/01/2008, -0/+6Cool sites, I can digg it!
- Zarile3, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1I was really into the sixty one for awhile, but slowly became bored. I did find some cool music on there. Unfortunately, my primary musical taste (Christian Alternative) is not all that prominent there.
I still like logging in once a month though to see all the points I get for logging in and all the stuff I said I liked. It's like getting a bunch of XBLA achievement points at once.- rationalbeats, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1Pandora has a specific Christian music section.
- jmbunnell, on 07/01/2008, -6/+2Dugg for thesixtyone.com. Hooked. Better than Digg. Would max bump if I could.
- nopointinnames, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3The sixty one is more of a fun in your free time type site rather than I'm at work and need to hear a constant stream of music. Pandora is my favorite for work but I like using T61 at home to find new music. Both are great steps in getting the music industry more where it should be.
- scabbers, on 07/01/2008, -1/+10LOL at spam comments. You fail it.
- ubtimmay, on 07/01/2008, -2/+1How does Purevolume not make the list but MySpace does? I'm lost
- beesaretasty, on 07/01/2008, -0/+7Pardon my ignorance but are CDs really $20 a pop??? That seems high, but then again I can't remember the last time I bought a CD.
- edwartica, on 07/01/2008, -0/+5Let's not forget about podcasts for free music. Indiefeed, NPR, KCRW, KEXP - all have some decent podcats - all for free.
- trollick, on 07/01/2008, -1/+11thepiratebay.org FTW
- leerayIG88, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1arrrr! another pirated album on it's way!
- mroffroad, on 07/01/2008, -3/+2I cant beleive no one has mentioned GrooveShark, its like a web-based Itunes but you get to listen to the whole song.
http://listen.grooveshark.com/
I love this site.- DanielWashburn, on 07/01/2008, -2/+1I love grove shark, you can build playlists and everything, good for parties!
- vawksel, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2They're from shoutcast but try JukeFly! It's got internet radio, favorites etc, all in your browser so it'll work from the office.
You can also listen to your own tunes, but that's just icing on the already delicious cake. (The cake is not a LIE! :P)
http://jukefly.com - fatTJ, on 07/01/2008, -1/+313: What.cd
- damn_bug, on 07/01/2008, -2/+1teh 61!!11
- Snakedal337, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3I dont find T61 all that amazing.. maybe i'll use it for a bit, but thus far i'm not impressed. I don't care what everyone else on the site likes, I want to listen to what I like.
- championchap, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Same here, and what I happen to like is pretty erratic.
I've always had a problem with these kinda sites, right down to last.fm
And is it just me or is digg totally and completely over run with OMG SIXTYONE!! spam?
It's ugly as sin and acts just like traditional radio but for more indie artists.
THIS IS WHAT THE KIDS ARE LISTENING TO! YOU LISTEN TO IT TOO! /cool
- championchap, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3Same here, and what I happen to like is pretty erratic.
- lateralus, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2gomusic.ru better be on there.
- magnusbe, on 07/01/2008, -1/+1My favourites:
http://www.sellaband.com
http://www.emusic.com (only free at signup, but a great value. And there are some free tracks to get there.)
http://www.hypem.com - KevinJim, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2Oh come on... where's Jamendo ? TheSixtyOne, Last.fm and Jamendo are the best music sites/services out there for music!
- MidnightRIder77, on 07/01/2008, -2/+1My friend works at a computer repair shop where Pandora is always playing on a computer in the back. I love that site.
- dunktim, on 07/01/2008, -1/+2But I thought all music sites were run by pirates and the only way to listen to music is to go to your local Wallyworld and buy the CD?
- ajb2015, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3thepiratebay
- jenny00, on 07/02/2008, -2/+2I like Seeqpod.com
They have new playlists which are really cool
Jenny - jenny00, on 07/02/2008, -3/+1I like Seeqpod seeqpod dot com
They have new playlists which are really cool
Jenny - sreevatsa, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2http://www.worryaboutyou.com
yet another amazing music website. - Basesecrete, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0http://fairtilizer.com
Best new music, high quality full length tracks, unlimited and free. - solangesan, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0Y agree with Basesecrete comment, for me I definitively Digg FAIRTILIZER.COM - covering all genres from club to world to rap to rock to punk, no majors, no backcatalog, daily playlist+itw (css, crystal castles, border community, poni hoax, dj mehdi), loads of exclusives, easy to use player you can embed anywhere including myspace, you can vote for tracks, check the daily/weekly/monthly to in all genre (the community does the chart actually) and you can also up tracks on the site. Many cool label already there, for what i like I can say DC recordings, Bpitch, Relapse, Kompakt, Mochi Mochi, Southern, Ed bangers....and many more to discover, and no ***** there! Have definitively a try!
- YodaJones, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I think calling the publication "PC Magazine" is a misnomer. I remember when it used to be a magazine and it even had stuff worth reading in it. Nowadays I think they should call it "PC Flyer" or maybe "PC Pamphlet" even "PC Two Pages Folded In Half" would better describe it.. All it is is three paragraphs spread out over five pages to generate ad revenue. with banner impressions.
