Deezer

Just a quick snippet given I haven’t written anything here in 3 weeks, need to get rid of the cobwebs and give this blog at least a semblance of life ;o)

Lots of things have been going on in April, and I’m not going to go over everything now, but this is my favourite find of the weekend, I went to Paris and Orleans and to visit some friends and family and one of my best friends converted me to Deezer – I’m loving it!

Deezer is a (French – woohoo!) online music service, way better than Last.fm or Pandora in that being a radio is only one of it’s functions – it’s also accessible wherever you live – and completely free! In addition to being able to search and listen to any title from a very large array of different artists, users can also create their own playlists and upload all their MP3 so that your whole music library can be available online anywhere, anytime. It also ha a strong community element, where you can make friends and then be able to listen to their own playlists, enabling people to hook up with people with similar music tastes and discover more bands.

My friend told me of a couple of occasions where he saved parties from dying by overtaking the host’s computer, logging into Deezer and launching one of his wild party music playlists full blast ;o)

I’m just starting in the Deezer world, but check here if you want to be my musical friend!

That’s my mate Jo aka BMF
