Listen To Music Online With Vastfm

Vastfm provides an interesting free of charge service that allows users to listen music online; Lots of music to be precise. The website uses mashups to provide their content as their servers are only hosting a few lines of code that power the site. What Vastfm is doing is to pull the selected artist’s discography from open online music directories and combine the information found with the music of Youtube videos.

The result is pretty amazing. The complete discography of many artists are shown on the results page. All albums and songs can be played right on the website without additional plugins or registration hassles.

Users who want to listen to music online can enter a band or artist name in the search form or pick one of the suggestions in the tag cloud below. It takes only a few seconds before the next page is loaded containing information about the discography of the selected band or artist. The first song of one of the music albums will play automatically.

The results are spot on. Even the tested live albums did return the live songs (most of the times) and not other studio versions of the songs. All songs were playing fine during tests, there was no delay or any other sort of disturbance. The page with the music player uses several ads which might be distracting to some users. It provides the means to purchase songs at Amazon. There are also some concert information listed on some pages.

Vastfm is a unique interesting website that provides access to virtually any band and song that can be found on Youtube.

   Try to lisen to muziek from Tegan and Sara, Gus black, bombay bicycle club or even Chad Vangaalen. Its pretty clear this is a ferry mainstream (coca cola/Walt Disney) muziek site.

   Problem with most of these online music dispatchers is the poor sound quality : under 128kbps don’t expect more than emancipated sound ;)
