Two dead simple music services you should know about

Favtape.com - Create & share an instant mixtape of your Pandora bookmarked songs or Last.fm loved tracks.png

So you’ve clicked the heart icon in the last.fm player and ever since wondered how you were to listen to those songs again. Favtape plays them on demand, full length. Somehow off topic, they also play the full iTunes top 100 and, back on topic, other people’s Last.fm playlists, which of course is the most interesting part about this service.

Quickly discovering an artist can be tedious and involves a lot of waiting. Mixturtle is amazingly fast, plays full length, and finds a lot, including rare recordings.

One of them is Yen

You might think it would be cool if it happened to you, but please think twice on this one. Having your blog hacked is extremely cool, but it also causes a lot of trouble.

Personally, I’m happy that Site5 finally treated me with a nice surprise. They simply restored backups and set me back in time before I got the weird hello from the Middle East.

My only concern is that I’ve lost all the Danish æøå’s that were previously in the database. They’re now weird characters. One of them is the Yen sign.
