Real-Time Radio Search Engine From Music Industry's Nemesis

Posted by timothy on from the gadflies-love-being-swatted dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From the guy who brought you CD syncing and the original music locker (both of which saw lawsuits from record labels) comes the latest invention to rock the music world: a real-time radio search engine. 1000s of worldwide stations are indexed in real-time and users can search and play most any popular artist — even the digital holdouts (Tool, Led Zeppelin, etc) that are unavailable on paid services like Spotify. (Kinda wonder why Google hasn't done this.) Link on main page points to an API for those who want to build mobile and web services."

    Yes. "More people are listening to our product, therefore...uh...GIVE US MONEY!"
