I don't read French, so I can't tell you too much Musicovery, except that it is very pretty, very good and I am in love. (flash and obviously, music)

Wow, this is SO cool.

My only thought would be that clicking different nodes does a sinusoidal fader between tracks — other than that, this is amazingly fun!

My French ain't so hot either, but still: très fantastique! Oh, and merci beaucoup!

BrodieShadeTree, Woo hoo, what a great site! There isn't much to translate but here is a site that explains and tells a little bit about it nicely. The creator, Frederic Vavrille, created LivePlasma as well, a data visualisation, "mindmapping", or "cloud view".

Definitely [+fave]. :)

Yeah, I totally couldn't figure it out, but it was pretty cool. Not enough Wilco, though.

the more you dink with it, the more it is cool. the decade selector alone is like pressing the 'go' button on the wayback machine.

Pandora + Liveplasma

:D

Okay, on the left side of the main Musicovery page, pictured below, is the remote control looking index. On the middle of that index are the ambience (mood and tempo) choices. The instructions say, Select a mood by clicking in the area that says Ambience.

OR

Choose a web-radio according to your mood and genre by clicking in the different colored rectangles (in the lower half of the index).



Does that help?

BrodieShadeTree, this site just gets better and better the more I explore it, it's amazing! Wow.

Yeah, got all that.
Just wondering about the flow road and what it's doing exactly.

Absolutely awesome. I've been looking for classical music to play while I'm working at the computer and the "classical/calm" section fits the bill perfectly. I can't wait to explore the other sections.

Great, great post and Best of the Web indeed--thank you BrodieShadeTree!

This doesn't work for me at all.

I clicked all over and nothing happened.

Yep--rock, rap, jazz, world...I'm stunned.

I was much happier when I noticed the "hit" and "non-hit" buttons.

It seems to only play the first twenty or thirty seconds of a song and then skips around. Anyone else getting this?

Site, she dead, Jim.

Well, temporarily anyway:

The number of visitors has reached such a level that given the way we currently operate the broadcast the cost has become too high...
We plan to rapidly provide the service again on a more sustainable basis.
