Users can listen to Internet Radio, specialized websites like Last.fm, video portals or music search engines to do so. Semsix adds another possibility to the possibilities. The service offers music searches for artists, albums or individual song titles in its interface. The first difference to other music search engines is the use of the Musicbrainz database to identify the artist, albums or songs to provide better results to the user.</p><p>These information are then used to search various video services including Youtube, MyVideo, Vimeo or Discogs. The information are then displayed in the main interface that resembles a desktop music player. Results are shown in a song and album list. It is therefor possible to check out a specific album of an artist or band using Semsix.</p><p><span id="more-15558"></span>Semsix displayed quality levels for each song that is listed in the interface. Green dots indicate a good quality while gray dots indicate songs that have not been found by the search engine. A click on an album at the top will only show the songs of that album in the results list. Songs can be added to a playlist which can be saved for later use. All songs that have been found can be played right away on the site. A video of the song will be shown during playback as well.</p><p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/music_search-499x255.jpg" alt="music search" title="music search" width="499" height="255" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15560" /></p><p>A site logo on top will indicate the source of the song. Other possibilities offered by Semsix are switching to simple view which will display all songs that have been found in a list, a build in lyrics search engine and web radio capabilities.</p><p>All these features make <a href="http://www.semsix.com/en/">Semsix</a> an interesting option for users who want to listen to songs from specific artists or albums online. No registration is required to use the service.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/20/semsix-music-player-finds-and-plays-music-albums-online/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
