Completely Legal. Music Roamer - Discover New Music. The Music Maze. Rexly. By Eric Garland [Update: Rexly duderino Joel Resnicow has written a better and more informative announcement.
Please read his first.] Tonight I’m feeling reflective, on the eve of the announcement that we have acquired iPhone social music star Rexly and that the Rexly team will establish our new San Francisco presence, Live Nation Labs North, or LN² as it’s already known around here. I’m feeling reflective (in addition to yeehaw, hellyeah, and damnright) because Joel and Kyle have just entrusted to the Labs something handmade, something precious and rare. I did that myself just a few months ago. I’m also feeling reflective because with team Rexly we continue to recruit the people who inspire us. After we started the Labs, but before we’d told anybody what we were up to, Ethan and I started sneaking** up north to court Rexly.

When it comes to discovering music, the old “tell a friend” maneuver still works wonders — even if it’s what you do after a machine recommends a song to you.
Exfm’s new iPhone app leverages that tendency to the nth degree, for free. It also lets you listen to oodles of full tracks, make a note of the ones you like, or buy them from iTunes, among other things. Exfm, which is also a Google Chrome browser extension, indexes the free MP3s you or others encounter on music blogs and other tastemaker sites, saving them to your online profiles. Basically, you can “note” songs found while browsing MP3 blogs and play them later on your iPhone or other iOS device — as well as playing those songs noted by everyone you’re following.
