Musipedia - Useful for you?

In my last post, I talked about the basics of Musipedia, but I didn't really confirm whether or not it is a useful tool for you, my beloved readers. When I started this blog, the typical reader was described as someone who was interested in the music industry, someone who wants to get into the business, or maybe someone who just casually reads pitchfork and stereogum every day like me (see my blog list to the right). The typical reader is also someone who enjoys listening to music on a daily basis, goes to show, buys albums, etc... Because if you didn't have some sort of interest in music, why would you even bother to look at my blog?!

For me Musipedia, was an interesting tool, but not super useful for me in any way, and I assume it serves the same function for you. However, if you also happen to be a musician, it could be incredibly useful! It all depends on you hobbies/interests. It really doesn't help me in any way, not even as a time waster, since I can't really use it correctly (sad, I know)!

If you would like a little more information on Musipedia, Wikipedia has a good entry on it. For now, I'm going to look for a better tool to suit all of us...maybe last.fm or songza. I could probably do a 7 part editorial on last.fm, since I'm pretty much obsessed with it! To hold you over, check out some of these other music databases on this list, some of them are quite good!
