How To Listen And Share Music Online Through Unlimited Streaming: Blip
Blip.fm allows sharing music online and listening to songs through streaming with no need of mp3 downloading; it’s a real never ending source of music. It works as a social network and it’s Twitter-like.

Uploading your own music
After your subscription you can upload yours MP3s to your profile. Dealing with copyright is obviously on you. In few words, you can only upload music from your CDs or mp3 songs regularly purchased online. Once you do this, you can listen to your songs through streaming directly from your account.
Comment and listen other users’ songs
You can search for the other users’ (DJs) songs in the search field and once you find them, listen to a preview.
To listen to the whole songs or add them to you playlist, you should make comments on them by clicking on blip. After your comment, the song will be uploaded to your blips list on the home page.
At this point you can:
- Listen to the whole song through streaming by clicking on play
- Send an alert to the song’s owner by clicking on the ok hand (called props and used to determine the users’ karma)
- Add a song to your playlist by clicking on the star
- Add the user as one of your favorite DJs
There are two very useful functionalities: the chance to listen to the songs other users are blipping in real time and the chance to follow your Favorite DJs’s blips (and, obviously, be followed).
Social Functionality
Blip activity can be embedded into;
- FriendFeed
- Pownce
- Tumblr
- Live Journal
- Jaiku
- AudioScrobbler
Your blips are automatically shared with the others micropublishing services.
There are other web 2.0 music sharing services, such as last.fm, anywhere.fm, etc, but Blip is much more simple and fun. My username is ikaro, hope to hear from you! : )
