Blip.Fm Listen to Music

Blip.fm is a website devoted to making DJ's out of common listeners. You can listen to your old favorites and get "props" for your plays. You can also give "props" to others to raise your "Credibility, I guess.

I don't think it is a site you make money at. But you can buy your favorites here on MP3 and find songs that you haven't heard for a while on the radio. One band I haven't heard a lot from was Third Eye Blind, I listened to some of their songs there and even got a prop for playing one of their songs. While I don't spend all my time listening to music, I do have some favorite songs and even found another version of Shiver by Maroon 5.

You can meet friends and share on twitter and get a lot of enjoyment from it. I just started but I have had a lot fun so far. Its nice to listen to music online and hear new versions. And as far as I know, it doesn't seem to have any viruses as far as I can tell. I heard about it from a friend on twitter and I intend to listen to more music there.

While I am sure you can down load music on itunes, I never got into it. I am not really into buying one song. I like to buy a CD and decide what my favorite song on it is. So I might like Shiver on Songs about Jane by Maroon 5 while the hit single might have been She will Be Loved. And that's a good song, but I still wouldn't have found out about Shiver without owning the CD.

Plus, I feel that you get to "know" an artist by listening to the whole CD instead of just picking the popular tune. I had the I believe In Blue CD by Third Eye Blind until I lost it. And I thought it was really good. Now I can hear more of their hits on Blip.fm. Some people need to own a MP3 but I feel just being able to play old faves there is very rewarding in its own sense.

So this is a site I now enjoy and I thought I would share it with you. If you have never heard of Blip.fm I hope to share it with you. I like it and lots of other people like it too. So I hope you give it a chance.
