Music for the soul

I recently came by finetune (by the way of lifehacker), and have just finished knitting together a playlist with a bit of the different music I enjoy. Feel free to listen in on what I like in the playlist Diversify - and feel free to drop a comment here or there in the process.

Playlists are 45 tracks long; if you can’t fill in all of these slots, the site will fill in songs it thinks you’ll like into it. An annoying limitation, which I suspect is for legal reasons, is that you can only include 3 songs by 1 artist in any given playlist. You can also only play a song once… An interesting social feature of the site is that playlists get given URLs which you can share. Also, finetune provide the code to embed playable playlists (which are all Flash) into sites such as MySpace or your blog.

The player is flash-based, and you don’t need to sign up to listen - so get going.
