All about Tubeify
This morning I received an invite to a new music service - Tubeify. What it does is use the Last FM database to allow you to listen to virtually any song or entire album as long as its on Youtube (and most songs are). Its like Spotify with a much bigger catalogue, all the music you want streaming free to your computer. Where Spotify is limited by the albums it can license Tubeify streams them via Youtube so includes many of the artists that won't license to spotify ie The Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. This is a very scary thing to the old music industry and I would imagine they are currently in the process of trying to shut it down. It is truly a global juke box, music as a service rather than a product.

That looks pretty cool. Is there specific service for artists or is it just if you're on YouTube and/or Last.fm you'll automatically show up in the database?
Thats exactly it - it just uses the last fm database to find stuff on youtube - a mash up as they say
