			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://vastfm.com/">Vastfm</a> 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&#8217;s discography from open online music directories and combine the information found with the music of <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/10/download-youtube-videos/">Youtube videos</a>. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Users who want to <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/03/05/listen-to-music-online/">listen to music online</a> 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-11141"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/listen_to_music_online2-500x297.jpg" alt="listen to music online2" title="listen to music online2" width="500" height="297" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11142" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Vastfm is a unique interesting website that provides access to virtually any band and song that can be found on Youtube.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do we need physical access to music if you consider the advent of broadband connections and an always-on mentality fueled by small mobile devices like smartphones, pdas and even netbooks that make it easier than ever to listen to music online. The way music is consumed has changed drastically in the last ten years. We are now at a point where even the most conservative RIAA executives have to admit that the online world is the future of music. People will still buy CDs and DVDs but those sales will drop even more in the coming years. Everyone can access his favorite songs with just a few clicks on the Internet. </p>
<p>Data flatrates and mobile broadband will make it possible to access the very same songs on any mobile device everywhere in the world. Who needs songs on their devices if the very same songs can be accessed all the time on the Internet? The following article contains websites that can be used to listen to music online. It will concentrate on so called music search engines which are becoming increasingly popular.
