Seeqpod is a pretty neat site. I’ve been using the iPhone version for a few months now. It’s a very easy way to find a song and play it on your iPhone. All that time though, I never tried visiting Seeqpod from a regular desktop browser. Turns out I was missing something great.
Before, when I wanted to sample a band, I had a couple of options: Google, MySpace, or the band’s website. Google worked, but you had to sift through reviews and fansites. You still had to hunt for a song, but you could find one. MySpace is a little better, but who wants to go to MySpace. MySpace is an awful, awful place. The band’s website would either refer you to MySpace, have a track up in a horrible embedded player, or have no sample tracks at all.
Enter Seeqpod. It combines a very amazing crawler with a very nice flash interface. So essentially what you get is a search engined tuned to finding mp3 files. You don’t have to fart around with inurl: or other operators. And it has the very convenient ability to share playlists
