Social Music: Top 5 Sites to Build a Playlist

The Social Music series is supported by BLive Share, a platform for online music sharing and host of the Groove Armada mini album. Ah, the perfect playlist. In the quest to find a musical oasis where track after track is a pleasant reprieve from the surrounding world, even the best of efforts are often thwarted by limited song selection, an overly complicated user interface, or the lack of insight into upcoming songs. So we've scoured the web to find only the best musical offerings and we've put together a list of five sites that make playlist building a joy. You may notice that we've left Pandora and Last.fm off our top 5 list. 1. We recently pitted Slacker against Last.fm in a head to head battle, and even though Slacker fell to a worthier overall opponent, we think it's the top site for building out extensive playlists. One of Slacker's greatest features is the huge assortment of pre-fabricated stations covering all music genres. Tired of listening to the same old pop songs? 2. 3. 5. Related:
