I've finally found a replacement for Songerize, which has been broken since early this year. Just Hear It provides you a list of songs to play on demand or add to a playlist.

- I agree.... I've been using the Lala.com for a few months now and it's fantastic. I've spent far more money on music from Lala.com in a few months than I had from any other online store. I think you're right, it's because I can hear the entire song instead of a short sample!

(3 Comments)I feel like I'm shouting into the void, but I don't understand why everyone isn't talking about lala.com. It's such a great service--I have discovered so many new artists. And there's no 'regret syndrome' because the 30 sec clip on itunes wasn't really representative of the whole song. And I'm buying more mp3s (from lala.com) than ever, too. I'm terrified that they'll go out of business--no one seems to know about them.
Some great points about Lala.com
-Listen free to whole songs and entire albums once.
-Buy Web songs for online listening for 10 cents. How about a web album for 80 cents?
-If you like the music, you can buy the mp3 (you are credited the 10 cents you spent on the web album.
-People-based recommendations. You can follow and be followed. I've found some people on lala who consistently expose me to fabulous new music.
I listen as I work at my desk with my good computer speakers with a sub-woofer--it's great. I stream the music to the living room wirelessly -heaven! Try it. I'm Karen S. on lala.com. (Not affiliated with lala.com in any way. I just love lala.com and want it to prosper.)
Also, for audiphiles, I found that Lala has some songs that are actually 320 kbps (instead of just 256 kpbs like other stores). I discovered this by accident, when I purchased songs by Bob Dylan - yet another artist I had never listened to prior to joining Lala.
I don't work for the company either, nor am I an audiophile by any means, but the site has some great things going for it that others do not.
